On Thursday, it was announced that “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair is All Elite.
The WWE Hall of Famer has signed a two-year contract with the company, which will see his Wooooo! Energy drink become the official energy drink of All Elite Wrestling.
Speaking on the latest edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, the AEW wrestler opined on Ric Flair’s AEW debut, how the fans will react to him moving forward, and more. Hardy said,
“I’m good friends with Ric, I’ve always gotten along well with him. It’s really interesting. Honest to god, I just expected Ric was there through Sting’s final match and his retirement, which is what, four months? I figured that was the run that Ric was gonna do, and then he would be finished. He’s doing something with his Woooo! Energy drink as well.”
He continued, “But lo and behold, he has signed for years, so it’s gonna really interesting to see how that very opinionated and very outspoken AEW fanbase react to him as time goes on. It’s gonna’ be really, really interesting.”
