On Thursday, it was announced that Ric Flair is All Elite.
The Nature Boy has signed a two-year contract with AEW that will see his Wooooo! Energy drink become the official energy drink of the company.
While speaking to ESPN’s Marc Raimondi to discuss the new deal, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer commented on his desire to face off against MJF in a promo battle, his new energy drink deal with AEW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On wanting to face off against MJF on the mic: “The one thing I want to do, I want to be a heel and have a conversation with MJF. A promo battle. Let’s see what you got kid. He’s spot on. I don’t think Tony [Khan] has to worry about him leaving because he sounds like a very sincere and honest person. I think I’ve only met him one time. I look forward to that opportunity. He’s a very talented guy.”
On his energy drink deal with AEW: “Here we are today, marching on, making headway, going national with AEW. Out of courtesy, we ran it by WWE, and they have so much going on, it’s no fault of anybody. With the merger and so much going on, they moved past it. It was no disrespect to us, they just weren’t doing anything at the time. I ran it by Tony Khan, Tony called me, I put Chad [business partner Chad Bronstein] on the phone, and here we are.”
