Ric Flair teamed up with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to beat Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett on July 31st, 2022, in what was advertised as his retirement match.
Ric’s daughter, Charlotte, was at the show to see the match featuring her father teaming with her husband, although she wasn’t part of the bout.
While appearing on NBC’s The TODAY Show to promote Saturday’s Royal Rumble, the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion was asked about Ric wrestling again. Flair noted that while she has shared the ring in the past with her father, Charlotte wished she was able to be in the ring for the special moment. The top WWE star also wishes her late brother, Reid Flair, could have seen it.
“That was a long day. Honestly, I was a little jealous (seeing them in the ring together) because I was like, “Oh, I wanna be a part of this,’ because I’ve shared the ring with my dad but not in that capacity but then again, my husband having the opportunity to be beside him and at the same time, I’m like, ‘Man, I wish my little brother could see this.’ My husband is a third-generational wrestler, and then with my dad…it was awesome, picture-perfect. I think my dad could have maybe just managed my husband, but it worked out.”
Ric made his first appearance on WWE television in two years when he introduced Charlotte for a segment on Raw 30. You can watch the entire interview here:
