Ric Flair Clarifies His Comments About John Cena Potentially Breaking His World Title Record

Randy Orton is close to breaking the record for most World Title reigns, currently held by John Cena and Ric Flair at 16. However, Charlotte Flair may break the record, something her father would like to see.

Orton is already a 14-time WWE World Champion, while Charlotte is a 14-time Women’s World Champion. Many fans believe Cena could set a new record of 17 when he does his retirement tour from in-ring action in 2025.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, the legendary star said that he would love for his daughter to beat his title record. However, should Cena do it before her, he would have no problem with it. Flair doesn’t think Cena will break it simply because Cena doesn’t want to do it before adding that Orton is another guy who would be deserving to break the record because he’s been on top for so long.

There has been some apparent confusion among fans about Flair’s comments, which led to him taking to Twitter/X to address it and set the record straight.

Flair wrote, “There Has Been Way Too Much Attention Brought To This. Let’s Just Set The Record Straight For The Final Time. My First Choice Would Obviously Be The Queen @MsCharlotteWWE. I Think The World Of My Friend @JohnCena, Who Is An Incredible Athlete & Genuine Person! I Will Be The First Person To Shake His Hand & Congratulate Him If He Breaks My Record As I Would For Anybody Who Would Break It. When That Day Comes, It Will Be An Honor! WOOOOO!”

Cena has confirmed he will be on the first Netflix episode of Raw, 2025 Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania.
