ORIGINAL: Ric Flair is trending on Twitter this afternoon and it has nothing to do with his WWE release or signing with AEW.
A photo is going viral on Twitter of a man performing a sexual act on a woman. Some fans believe the man to be Flair but the person’s face is not visible. The evidence that some are pointing to is that the man’s hair looks similar to the Nature Boy. For the record, we do not know the identity of the two people shown in the photo.
Flair has not commented on the viral photo. The photo has been posted at this link.
Flair has been busy this week. He traveled to Mexico on his private jet so he could appear at Triplemania XXIX alongside Andrade El Idolo. Flair got involved by attacking Kenny Omega and putting the figure four leglock on Konnan. The belief is that Flair is going to be signing or has already signed with AEW.
Clearly, this photo is not the way fans of the Nature Boy expected to see his name trending on social media.
Here is a small sample of the reactions on Twitter:
Dear lord I just saw why Ric Flair is trending.

Ric Flair trending not because he's dead, but he definitely looks like he's drowning…
