Ric Flair recently had the pleasure of meeting AEW World Champion MJF.
The October 25th episode of AEW Dynamite saw Ric Flair make a surprise appearance as a special gift to Sting from Tony Khan. On November 2nd, it was announced that Flair had signed a multi-year deal with the company and also that his Wooooo! Energy drink would be the exclusive energy drink of AEW.
Although he has joined the company to back Sting as the Icon heads to his final match at Revolution in 2024, Flair has also set his sights on AEW World Champion MJF. In a recent interview, The Nature Boy claimed that he still “talks better than anybody” and called out Maxwell Jacob Friedman to go one-on-one with him on a microphone.
“I can still talk better than anybody. They’ll find out if they turn me loose. I’m dying to go one on one with MJF, man. It would get a rating too. ‘Let’s talk, young man.’”
Flair also goaded the young star about copying his style when it comes to grandiose ring entrance gear.
