Ric flair It has been one of the names of the last week. The 72-year-old legend asked for his contract to be released and the company granted it. In addition, last weekend he appeared on TriplemanÃa XXIX. He is a member of the company’s Hall of Fame (2008 and 2012) and has a record that everyone wants to beat. Throughout his career he has been champion of the company 16 times (eight-time NWA heavyweight champion, six-time WCW heavyweight champion, and two-time WWF champion). A landmark of the myth.
Since January 2017, Flair has shared that challenge with another legend like John Cena. (thirteen WWE championships and three heavyweight championships). The 44-year-old from Massachusetts is this Saturday at SummerSlam before a golden opportunity. In recent years he has been more focused on his film career, but now he’s back and challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship (his reign lasts almost a year). If he wins, he will be the most successful fighter. It is in his hand.
If Cena fails, two names are lurking. Randy Orton has 14 championships (10 from WWE and 4 from heavyweight), is still active and sometimes bordering on the title, but now he is focused on the tag team division. For its part, the other name is Charlotte Flair, Ric’s daughter, who is within reach of both and by age (35 years) and status (full-time contract) could be an option to lead this prestigious list alone. The ‘Queen’ has won a belt 13 times (a belt from Divas, twice from NXT, five from Raw (being the first champion) and five from SmackDown) and opts for 14 this Saturday. At SummerSlam she faces Nikki ASH (Raw monarch) and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat. Remember, Charlotte won the belt at Money in the Bank 2021, although the belt lasted a day because Nikki made use of the briefcase she had won the night before. His last reigns are not being very long, but they add up to this record. The ‘Queen’ wants to ascend the throne one more time.
