At the NWA 73 pay-per-view, Ric Flair alluded to having a drink with Tony Khan later this week. That statement led to speculation that he would be making his AEW debut within the next week.
During his interview on Renee Paquette’s podcast, Flair confirmed that he will be in Chicago with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo for the pay-per-view.
It was not said if he will appear on the actual broadcast but he will be backstage at the show. Flair is believed to be AEW-bound and he does not have a non-compete after being granted his WWE release earlier this month.
Since leaving WWE, Flair has appeared at Triplemania XXXIX alongside Andrade and he appeared at NWA 73 to give a speech to the crowd and to present the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to Trevor Murdoch.
