Ric Flair is apparently now a 17 time World Champion
This week's Season Premiere of Monday Night Raw included appearances from The Immortal Hulk Hogan and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair so that the two men could set up their five-on-five match for Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. The Miz welcomed both men on Miz TV, but when Flair made his way to the ring, there was a huge error in his entrance.

The 16-time World Champion made history with his title reign record, but this was later equalled by John Cena at the Royal Rumble when he defeated AJ Styles last year. It's one of the best-known facts in WWE, but it appears that someone in WWE's production team forgot that this was the record number since they decided to refer to Flair as a 17-time Champion.
The ring announcer stated that he was a 16-time World Champion as he made his way to the ring, which made it even worse when the Titantron read 17-times and many members of the WWE Universe then picked up on the fact that this was a huge botch on WWE's part.
