#2 Ric Flair himself has benefitted from his new association with Lacey Evans
Ric Flair has always loved the spotlight. The former 16-time world champion thrives in his role as "The Dirtiest Player In The Game." This newly-formed partnership with Lacey Evans is a perfect fit for him.
Flair has been a ladies' man throughout his legendary career. As a result, there are very few men who could believably turn on their own family for the affections of a woman. But "The Nature Boy" is the exception to the rule.
Though he has spent almost 50 years in the professional wrestling business, Ric Flair's passion for what he does remains undiminished. The winner of the 1992 Royal Rumble Match brings that passion and his unmistakable energy to every appearance that he makes on RAW.
His role alongside Lacey Evans gives Flair a genuine purpose on WWE television. This storyline is not just the company's way of trotting out a legend for the sake of nostalgia. It's clear that this storyline has helped elevate Evans, and it has also granted another run to a WWE legend who simply loves to perform.
