Ric Flair is ready to take some blood thinners and fight security if it means helping Cody Rhodes stop John Cena from taking the WWE Title from him.
John Cena is attempting to go for his 17th World Championship when he faces Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WWE WrestleMania 41. If Cena can win, he will surpass Ric Flair's all-time record of 16 (recognized) World Championships. Along the way, Cena has done the unthinkable and turned heel on Cody, aligning with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber.
In a post on X, not even 24 hours later, Ric Flair said he would be willing to help fight off John Cena if it meant preserving his record. Flair says he's ready to stop the blood thinners for a day.
