Recent reports suggest Ric Flair is "a lock" to join AEW
A recent report suggested that Flair could soon be heading to AEW once he's legally able to do so. However, it also recently came to light that Flair is not under any non-compete clause from WWE after he appeared at TripleMania 29, which means he could debut for Tony Khan's promotion anytime.
On the August 14th show, Ric Flair accompanied his daughter, Charlotte Flair's fiance Andrade El Idolo in his match against AAA Mega Champion Kenny Omega. The fact that both Andrade and Omega are under contract with AEW has further intensified rumors that Flair joining the promotion is only a matter of time.
