Wrestling veteran reflects on Ric Flair's absence from WrestleMania 41

Despite reportedly being under an AEW contract, Ric Flair claimed he would stop John Cena from surpassing his record for the most World Championship wins at WrestleMania 41. However, the veteran was nowhere to be seen at The Showcase of the Immortals.

During a recent appearance on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, former WWE head writer and wrestling veteran Vince Russo stated that although many fans expected Flair to show up at WrestleMania 41, the wrestling promotion would not bring him back for the foreseeable future.

"Bro, there were a lot of people thinking we were gonna see [Ric] Flair [at WrestleMania 41]. I'm like, 'No way.' Bro, they're not gonna bring Flair back at this point in time. No way, bro," he said. [From 1:11:17 to 1:11:27]

Flair fought his last wrestling match in July 2022. He teamed up with his then-son-in-law Andrade to defeat Jeff Jarrett and Jey Lethal in a Tag Team Match.
