Legendary wrestler Ric Flair has been released from the WWE.
“We have come to terms on the release of Ric Flair as of today, 8/03/2021,” the WWE said in a statement.
Flair was upset about his storyline involving Lacey Evans and his daughter Charlotte Flair.
BOW WOW JOINING THE WWE?
Evans and Ric were romantically linked and feuding with Charlotte but then Evans announced she was pregnant in real life — and Ric wanted the storyline shut down.
“In this instance, I didn’t [feel comfortable.] The one thing I’ve learned [is] you’re not gonna win a war when someone’s got their mind made up. And [Charlotte] most definitely didn’t like it. But the one thing I can say about me is I always said yes,” he said in May, according to Fox News.
“Because…I didn’t want to be that guy that was always going oh god, that isn’t perfect for me. I mean, I don’t know how much you’ve followed my career, but I have been buried in the desert by [Vince] Russo. I’ve had my head shaved. I mean if you look at the other top guys in our industry, whether it’s Shawn [Michaels] or Hunter or Undertaker or Bret Hart,” he reasoned.
