WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair spoke at length about the upcoming WWE Draft on the latest edition of his new “Ric Flair Show” podcast. Below are highlights of what “The Nature Boy” had to say.
On the WWE brand split being a good thing for the company if the roster can stay healthy:
“I think it’s great. I hope that everyone can stay healthy because it’s going to require a lot of depth on the roster. If everyone’s healthy, it’ll be awesome.” Flair added, “It’s great. It gets people talking. The fact that they’re talking about it now and it’s still a week and a half away, it’s pretty cool, so I think it’ll be awesome.”
On the reason why WWE should not introduce new titles:
“I would have one world champion in both divisions. I mean, one champion for each. I would leave the format the way it is with the championship belts. Either [have the champions travel back and forth between the brands] or only on pay-per-views. Does that make sense? I don’t know, but there’s got to be a way to do it. I feel like if they make other champions in each brand, they’re going to dilute it a little bit.”
On rumors of Roman Reigns being forced to apologize to entire WWE locker room following Wellness Policy violation:
“I don’t remember ever seeing that. And I don’t know. Did that actually take place? To be honest with you, without talking to those guys, which I haven’t, I don’t feel comfortable commenting because I just know that there had to be a reason.”
