Ric Flair gives further comment to AEW deal.
On Thursday afternoon, AEW announced that Ric Flair had signed a multi-year deal with the promotion. Along with Flair comes his “WOOOO! Energy Drink, which is now the official energy drink of AEW.
Speaking to Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Flair revealed that he did go to WWE first.
“Here we are today, marching on, making headway, going national with AEW. Out of courtesy, we ran it by WWE, and they have so much going on, it’s no fault of anybody. With the merger and so much going on, they moved past it. It was no disrespect to us, they just weren’t doing anything at the time. I ran it by Tony Khan, Tony called me, I put Chad [business partner Chad Bronstein] on the phone, and here we are,” said Flair.
Flair launched his energy drink in July 2023.
