WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair took to Twitter this afternoon and posted comments on yesterday’s RAW main event segment with Randy Orton.
As noted, The Legend Killer took The Nature Boy with a low hit and a point kick after Orton’s victory over Kevin Owens. Orton accused Flair of getting him into the game, and then delivered a high-profile promo in which he insulted Flair, raised his health issues, and made things personal. Flair got emotional in his reaction. Orton pinched Flair and looked to apologize, but then wrote Flair in with a low blow. He then delivered the point stop. The full kick to Flair’s head was not visible due to the technical problems with the lighting, brought by RETRIBUTION.
At Orton’s promo, he claimed that Flair took him under his wing years ago because Flair hoped Orton could be the son he wished he had. Flair responded and went on about how he just wants Orton’s approval, and just wants to be around Orton and his success at this late stage in his own career. Flair ended his promo by saying that he was not trying to take anything from Orton, he was just Charlotte Flair’s father who wanted to be a part of Orton’s life. Flair addressed his comments in a tweet this afternoon.
“I wish last night would go differently,” Flair wrote. “What I would have said is I do not know what would have happened if my son was in this business. But I know what Charlotte has done, and like you Randy, she’s much better than I ever was, just like you did you. Father overcome. That’s it. “
It is believed that yesterday’s corner was done to write Flair first out of the WWE storylines, but that has not been confirmed.

I wanted to go different last night. What I would have said Is I not sure what would have happened if my son was in this business. But I know what Charlotte did, and like you Randy, she’s much better than I ever was, just like you passed on to your father. That’s it. pic.twitter.com/TNOsjSodVi
