Ric Flair, also known as a legendary figure in the world of wrestling, voiced his disapproval concerning the prospect of John Cena surpassing him and Cody Rhodes by seizing the Undisputed WWE Title at the upcoming WrestleMania 41. He’s worried that Cena, who already shares the record for the most World Title reigns with Flair, might set a new record.
Vince Russo, who previously served as a creative writer for the WWE, WCW, and TNA, criticized Flair. Russo accused him of deliberately getting involved in the Cena-Rhodes storyline by ‘throwing out bait’.
Once made aware of Russo’s remarks, Flair didn’t hesitate to respond. Turning to social media, he wrote,
“Please @THEVinceRusso, I Thought We Agreed That You Wouldn’t Use My Name To Get A Rating! I Work For My GREAT Friend And Employer @TonyKhan, Who Allows Me To Do Things With My Daughter And Understands The Importance Of Me Being In Attendance At Events Like The Hall Of Fame!”
Russo’s criticism led to a war of words on social media platforms, drawing attention from fans and other wrestling personalities. The exchange highlighted the ongoing tension surrounding the upcoming WrestleMania 41 where Cena is slated to vie for the championship title.
