WWE/Wrestling News Roundup: Clash of Champions title match changed, major health scare for Carmella - (3rd - 9th September 2019)

#2. Ric Flair threatening legal action against WWE

The Nature Boy Ric Flair is just not happy with WWE using the term 'The Man'.

The 16-time World Champion thinks he should be paid for WWE using his trademarked phrase. If they refuse to do so, the legend is not afraid to take legal action against the company.

"I’m glad that I’m having this opportunity to clear the air. When I first saw this [‘The Man’ Becky Lynch] thing go down in August 2018, I thought, ‘Cool, ‘The Man’ – my gimmick – versus my daughter, Charlotte.’ Okay, that’s the day it started, right after SummerSlam. I thought, cool. I said, "I’m going to make some money; it’s my trademark and they have it to use.’ I’ve been saying it’s [been mine] since 1981.

So I got my worded statement, I sent [WWE’s lawyer] a text and the lawyer, who just has no respect for me whatsoever which is something I’m not going to deal with much longer, he said, ‘You’re wrong. It’s not even close.’ I said, ‘It’s not even close?’ So, boom, I sent him another text, he didn’t respond. So I had my lawyer call him and he blew off my lawyer. This is all in 2018 or in January of ’19."

It was also revealed that Charlotte Flair is 'mad' at her iconic father's stance on the issue. Flair also clarified that he has no beef with Becky Lynch.

"It’s funny, my daughter is so mad at me because I filed, not even understanding that it’s not Becky. I have no beef with Becky. But here’s the deal: when I almost died two years ago, one person stayed by me the whole time for 31 days in ICU, 12 days while I was dying on a respirator, and I’m going to take care of her and her family, and my family that has taken care of me, no matter what.

I don’t care what WWE thinks of me personally; I know they love me, but obviously, they have lost respect for me. If I don’t win, and even if I won, Becky can have [The Man] all day long. I’m glad! But I want the company to pay me for it because I’m going to take care of my family. I am going to be ‘The Man’, and if I don’t get it, you know what my tombstone will say? ‘He died trying to be The Man’." H/t Credit: WrestlingInc

Becky Lynch also commented on the situation by saying, "All I can say about Ric is, I like Ric. He's been a good friend to me over the years. We'll see what happens with that."

I asked @BeckyLynchWWE about Ric Flair’s recent remarks about wanting to file a trademark for the “The Man” phrase.Lynch: “All I can say about Ric is, I like Ric. He's been a good friend to me over the years. We'll see what happens with that."

#1. Chris Jericho, the stolen AEW World title and a little bit of the bubbly!

We end this week's round-up with the biggest and most amusing story to have happened in recent months.

Chris Jericho won the AEW World title at All Out. He then lost it while dining out at the Longhorn Steakhouse. He reportedly left the belt in the Limo and a 'Worldwide manhunt' - as stated by Jericho - was launched to retrieve the stolen belt.

The Tallahassee Police Department finally found the belt on Wednesday last week. And in case you're wondering, this was certainly not part of any script. It actually happened!
