Ric Flair To Wrestle Top AEW Star?

The two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently took to his Twitter account and dropped a picture featuring him and AEW star CM Punk. Sasha Banks Admits To Asking For WWE Release

 


 

‘The Nature Boy’ told AEW if they are looking for a big TV rating that as he and CM Punk should have a chat about it.

“Never forget this moment. We can make history again, brother!” Flair wrote. “If you want a rating, let us talk for ten minutes! @AEW @CMPunk”

The “moment” Flair is referring to in the picture is when he teamed up with CM Punk on an episode of WWE ECW in 2008. The two defeated Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin.

Ric Flair talks about CM Punk

Flair spoke about Punk this week though during his new Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer questioned what Bryan Danielson and Punk have contributed to AEW:

“Well, if I’m looking at the ratings, I don’t know what [CM Punk and Bryan Danielson] have contributed to,” Flair said. “Yes, as you said, they’re certainly both big stars in the business, both had a lot of success. But I don’t know how to answer that question because all you can do, as we do with football or any other show, is look at the ratings. I mean, I think they’ll go up, but to me, that show should never do less than 1.1 million. If they get there once, bring in all this talent, and then go back [under 1 million], then there’s something wrong.”

Punk is set to square off against QT Marshall on this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
