On November 2nd, AEW CEO Tony Khan announced a multi-year deal with Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, who surprised fans in attendance and viewers at home during last Wednesday’s AEW: Dynamite show in Philadelphia, marking his historic return to TBS by appearing as Khan’s “special gift” for “The Icon” Sting.
“Flair’s debut for AEW and long-awaited epic return to TBS which had been 35 years since the Flair vs Sting rivalry first began on the Superstation,” said Tony Khan. Along with the multiyear deal for Flair it was also announced that Flair’s Wooooo! Energy will become the exclusive energy drink of AEW. During AEW show dates, select host venues will carry the clean energy drink at concession stands for fans to enjoy. In addition, the beverage will be stocked in the wrestlers’ locker rooms and will also be seen on the announcers’ desk during live broadcasts. Fans watching at home can experience Wooooo! Energy by ordering via http://woooooenergy.com
With the addition of Ric Flair, what are some of the storylines you would like to see him get involved in? Will he be in the corner opposite of Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution 2024? Would he join forces with Andrade El Ldolo? Could he try to get in one last match in AEW so he can say he is one if not the only, wrestler to compete in each major US wrestling promotion? Only time will tell.
