Ric Flair comments on the current state of the WWE product.
Ever since Triple H took creative control over the company back in July 2022, there has seemingly been a upswing in the fan's satisfaction with the WWE's creative product. Most notably, many fans are currently glowing at the current storyline between The Bloodline, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens, with some even calling it one of the best stories in wrestling history.
Ric Flair, who's been involved in a ton of memorable moments and stories, recently discussed the Royal Rumble premium live event and the Bloodline segment that closed the show on his To Be The Man podcast.
“I loved it. What I like about it the most is it’s unpredictable. You knew something was gonna happen, but you didn’t know what. I watched that promo in Philadelphia [on Raw XXX], which was very entertaining. Sami Zayn, he’s good. That really defined him the other night, doing that. He hit [Roman] hard, so it looked good. Roman’s a brick shit house anyway, so it didn’t hurt him. But the way he hit him as hard as he hit him, people stood up and went, ‘Holy shit.’ That’s what it’s all about. WWE right now is in such a hot position where everything’s clicking on such a positive note. It’s insanity. Everything is just boom, boom, boom. It’s incredible."
Flair went on to say that he doesn't hear a lot of people talking about AEW before naming off some more WWE storylines that he's currently invested in.
“They’re not missing a beat, and I don’t even hear people talk about AEW, and I’m pretty easy to find. I watch it, but when the WWE gets themselves on a roll like this, it just seems like everything else just pales in comparison. I’m not taking anything away from AEW. It’s just, when [WWE] is clicking like this, between Roman and ‘The Queen’, and the stuff with Becky and Bayley is really good, and Sami Zayn and The Usos, these kids, they’ve all been on top. Rhea has been on top, but not like she is now. She’s put herself in a whole new position, and I’m sure she’s just overwhelmed with excitement, just at the opportunity to be there. It’s Los Angeles, just the word ‘LA,’ they’re right in the entertainment capital of the world, and it’s already sold out I think both nights. I can’t wait to get there to watch it."
