Well, it doesn't look like Ric Flair has a non-compete to worry about! On Saturday night, the Nature Boy made a surprise appearance at Triplemania XXIX, making his way to the ring with future son-in-law Andrade El Idolo. However, no longer forced to play by WWE's rules, the WWE Hall of Famer was able to get physical...with Kenny Omega!
Andrade was there to challenge him for the AAA Mega Championship, and Flair entered the ring to stop Omega from hitting his fellow AEW star with it. That was followed by both Flair and Andrade hitting chops on the AEW World Champion's chest, and Flair followed that by applying his trademark Figure Four Leglock on Konan (Andrade, meanwhile, did the same to Omega).
Ultimately, Omega did walk out still champion, but this was still a huge moment and one that pretty much confirms rumours Flair is planning to sign with AEW.
WWE stopped the Nature Boy from getting physical in any way, shape, or form, and he's been desperate to step back into the ring for years now. AAA was happy to allow that, and we're betting AEW will too. Now, it just feels like a matter of when rather than if Charlotte Flair also decides to jump ship.
