• “I don’t understand what they do with anybody” – Ric Flair On WWE’s SummerSlam Booking
During a recent appearance on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair said that he doesn’t understand the storylines in WWE.
Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer had to say about Becky Lynch defeating Bianca Belair in 27 seconds at SummerSlam 2021:
“I didn’t like it. Sometimes I don’t understand what they do with anybody, Ashley (Charlotte Flair) included. But I didn’t like [Becky Lynch squashing Bianca Belair] at all.
I thought Bianca had worked so hard. She’s really a nice person, I like her husband, they seem very close. There’s a lot of things that make her pretty unique. I actually was hoping that someday, and I thought it could be Bianca and Charlotte, they could really be huge.
Obviously the two best athletes in the women’s division. I mean, both Division One athletes legitimately. And that’s a whole different way of telling a story leading up to an event.
Plus the fact that they can do stuff that nobody else can.”
