Update On Ric Flair's Current WWE Status
Despite his ongoing trademark issues with the company, Naitch is set for this week's SmackDown.
Only in the world of professional wrestling could you be in the midst of taking legal action against a company, yet still be invited to be a part of their live TV broadcast…
Despite Ric Flair and his legal team currently going after WWE over their use of “The Man” nickname for Becky Lynch – The Nature Boy believing his “To be the man, you’ve gotta beat the man” catchphrase gives him ownership of “The Man” moniker – the two-time WWE Hall of Famer is scheduled to be a part of this Tuesday’s SmackDown Live.
According to PWInsider, Flair will be appearing on Tuesday’s Atlanta, Georgia-held episode of the WWE’s blue brand show.
This follows on from Naitch being advertised as partaking in a Q&A with daughter Charlotte at 12pm ET on Tuesday. Said Q&A will actually take place from backstage at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
Additionally, Ric Flair is also still being advertised as part of October 4th’s 20th anniversary episode of SmackDown from Los Angeles’ Staples Center. That anniversary special, of course, just so happens to be the Fox premiere of SmackDown, too.
