Flair was involved in a storyline with Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair in January and February, but the storyline was dropped when Evans became pregnant and was removed from television. Charlotte ended up sending her dad home as a result.
Ric commented on the storyline in May, saying he didn’t like it, but that he couldn’t win an argument with Vince McMahon. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
