There were several notable names backstage at Friday’s WWE SmackDown, including WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair.
The show was newsworthy as John Cena competed in his first match since 2021, and Drew McIntyre and Charlotte Flair returned to WWE TV. As previously noted, Titus O’Neil shared a photo of himself with Dave Bautista (Batista) at the event.
Pwinsider.com reports that Ric was spotted backstage at the show. He was likely there to see his daughter, Charlotte, win the SmackDown Women’s Title from Ronda Rousey.
Flair and WWE parted ways in August 2021 after he requested his release. The legendary wrestler previously confirmed he would be backstage at the Royal Rumble and the Raw 30th Anniversary show in January.
He started working with WWE again earlier this year for his “Woooo! Becoming Ric Flair,” a documentary about his life and career, which premiered on the Peacock streaming service this past Monday.
