Charlotte has abandoned her father, who was her mentor during her first Divas title reign in the month of May. She did it in the most disgusting way possible by calling him ‘dead’ on live television. Since that day, Ric Flair was not seen on Raw because his task to cement Charlotte as a bonafide champion was over. Also, the real reason behind his absence was because his WWE contract got expired.
It was expected he would get his redemption on his daughter but that did not happen and he returned the past week to congratulate Sasha Banks on her third Raw title win. The moment for the Boss even got bigger since he got the crowd on their feet in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Now, a recent report from PWInsider.com says Ric Flair has signed a brand new contract with the WWE. Hence, he’ll be seen on WWE television on a regular basis from now on. It’s still not clear what his role is going to be but the rumor mill has an answer to it too.
Since Charlotte has cut all the ties with her father on TV, it is not likely these two will form an ally, again. It’ll not be a suitable storyline either. So, he is going to be the mentor of Sasha Banks, who is expected to hold the title for a longer time around.
Also, Flair being involved in the championship storyline will help Sasha turn into a villain in near future. The WWE has given her the title to signal an upcoming feud between Sasha and Bayley for the Wrestlemania season and the Dirtiest Player in the game can be an integral part of the rivalry.
Plus Ric Flair will further help to cement the legacy of Sasha Banks’ championship reign just like he did to Charlotte. The 16-time world champion has been hosting the radio show called Ric Flair show in MLW radio and his own podcast Woo-nation since retirement.
