WWE Hall of Famer "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, father of current WWE Divas Champion Charlotte Flair, spoke about this past Monday night's edition of Raw where Charlotte and Paige were featured in the final segment of the program for a Divas Championship Contract Signing for Survivor Series. Ric Flair said on his podcast that nobody from WWE contacted him to let him know what was going to happen, or what would be said, during the segment:
"I never heard a word about it. I started crying when I was watching it. Nobody called me and no oneâs called me today. That would indicate that they just assume that itâs good. I donât have an answer for that.â
âHereâs the problem. Obviously I have an opinion, but Iâm afraid to voice it because I donât want anything to affect Ashleyâs career. I would just say that I know that Hunter and Stephanie and Michael Hayes have her back. I thinkâŠif anything I donât think that she feels sheâs comfortable enough to say ânoâ to anything yet. Sheâs only been up there three months. Itâs a pressure cooker and a tough spot to be in. Even though sheâs the champion doesnât mean that she goes âhey, this is what I wanna do or what Iâm not gonna do.ââ
âIf youâre asked to do something, thatâs pretty much the way things operate up there.â He added, âEverybody walks on pins and needles and just because youâre the champion doesnât mean you have the right to say no and if somebody writes it downâŠone person approves everything. So I really donât have an opinion.â
âI was very sensitive to it obviously because itâs a very sensitive issue and itâs very new. I know her mom is on fire. Iâm not going out on a limb to say what I think.âÂ
