Every fan knows that WrestleMania is WWE’s biggest show of the year, and fans expected to see some of the biggest names in the business throughout WrestleMania. One name who wasn’t part of the festivities this year was Ric Flair, and he’s claiming that he was excluded due to an incident with a current WWE star.
Ric Flair recently appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show, and he said that he feels he should have a red carpet wherever he goes, but he didn’t get invited to WrestleMania this year. The Nature Boy stated that he threatened to beat up “Tiffany Stratton’s husband,” due to issues stemming from Tiffany’s feud with Charlotte during WrestleMania season last year, then later clarified that he was talking about Ludwig Kaiser.
“I didn’t get invited to WrestleMania this year. I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s husband. A 24-year-old kid being threatened by a 76-year-old man—and I can’t go to WrestleMania? Are you kidding me?
They had that thing where Tiffany made this smart remark about Ashley’s (Charlotte Flair) divorces, which we both know she’s not smart enough to have written, somebody gave her the script. He implied, I’m just going based on social media, which is a lot, that he was implying he wouldn’t bum one off Ashley. I went, ‘Ok, I need your number.’ I got it.
I can get anybody’s number I want, any minute of any day. I called him. I said, ‘Hey, when I see you, I’m gonna beat the s**t out of you.’He went like a little b***h, told Hunter, and I wasn’t allowed to go. He’s gonna really go far in the business… Is he even on the roster? Little punk.”
Ric Flair reveals he wasn't invited to WrestleMania 42 following an incident involving Ludwig Kaiser amid Tiffany Stratton’s attack on Charlotte Flair:
