Ric Flair and Charlotte Flair were involved in an on-screen feud during the beginning weeks of 2021. In an interesting scenario, the legendary wrestler was romantically involved with Lacey Evans who also became pregnant within a few weeks. Since WWE is no stranger to father-daughter storylines, the whole thing made sense.
It did come up with some great shock values, though. While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Ric Flair opened up on this latest bygone storyline with Lacey Evans and a heel turn. He was asked about how the angles happened. The only answer The Naitch could offer was that the hosts should’ve asked the question to those being in charge. He arrived at Legends Night only to be involved in the storyline.
“You’re talking to the wrong guy. You need to get that interview with somebody in the office. I have no idea. I just got to TV, and they said it to me. I was as much in shock as you were. I came to Legends Reunion to be a legend.”
“Next thing I know I’m managing Lacey, no explanation, and she’s such a nice girl. She wanted it so bad, but life is life, and I told her I wouldn’t trade out your pregnancy for wrestling for one second. She was hurt a couple days, but she’s gone home and realized that, ‘hey, I’m having a baby.’ Ultimately in life, is there anything bigger than family?”
Lacey Evans Shares Inside Scoop On Pregnancy; Set To Become Champion On WWE Raw
Ric Flair love angle with Lacey Evans didn’t have a proper culmination
As much as interesting this angle must have been, it never found a proper culmination. Lacey Evans became pregnant in real life that caused WWE to keep her off the television, moving forward. Then Charlotte Flair cut an emotional promo advising Ric Flair to go home by which the Hall of Famer was also written off TV.
Ric Flair is a 72-year-old person, at this point but his enthusiasm is too much. WWE can’t allow him to take a bump inside the ring but he was more than ready to take some when it came to the storyline. During Busted Open Radio, the legendary wrestler explained that he had some ideas about how to pay off his angle with Charlotte Flair.
It obviously involved going physical in the ring as his personal doctors have medically cleared him but WWE had a strict policy about the comeback and they weren’t ready to clear Ric Flair, anyway. Meanwhile, Lacey Evans got pregnant and WWE’s plans had to be switched up in big ways. Evans could’ve become a champion on Raw with Ric’s help but that never happened.
