Triple H and Ric Flair had quite the argument over something related to WWE.

Ric Flair has lifted the lid on a "big falling out" he had with Triple H.

The 'Nature Boy' told fans tuning into his AdFreeShows podcast that he argued back-and-forth with Trips over WWE's bid to trademark 'The Man' for Becky Lynch. Flair believed that he owned the rights to that moniker because of his ancient catchphrase ('To be the man, you've got to beat the man').

That caused beef between Ric and old pal Hunter, and it took the pair a while to mend fences. They're all good now, but there was a period when Flair and Triple H didn't speak - then, Ric reached out to Stephanie McMahon when Trips was hospitalised, and they got back in touch.

Flair told listeners that every relationship "has ups and downs". He thinks the world of Triple H, and views him as family, but he's also not going to pretend that everything has been plain sailing between them over the years.

'The Game' didn't like that Flair was causing problems over 'The Man' issue, and let Ric know about it. Thankfully, all is well between both men today.
