Ric Flair has reversed course on his public callout of WWE, posting a video on Wednesday that struck a different tone from the statement he made just one day earlier. Where his Tuesday post accused the company of trying to destroy his legacy after blocking his Roots of Fight partnership, his follow-up opened with gratitude and closed without a single grievance directed at WWE.
"It's the Nature Boy. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Roots of Fight for letting me represent them over the years. Pretty cool to have. I think I represented it well," Flair said in the video posted to his Twitter account.
Flair then addressed his change of heart directly, acknowledging that the initial frustration had cooled. "I'm not even mad at the people who took it away from me. I was at first, but I understand business, and business comes first," he said. "And you always want to think they'll make an exception, but sometimes exceptions can't be made."
He closed by thanking Roots of Fight and looking ahead rather than back. "Roots of Fight, thank you for the honor and privilege of representing you, and I look forward to seeing the next member of a great team."
The turnaround from one post to the next is stark. His Tuesday statement included financial reveals, references to Tony Khan, and a direct accusation that WWE was trying to diminish what he had built. None of that energy carried into the follow-up.
Whether cooler heads prevailed privately or something changed behind the scenes in the intervening 24 hours, the public dispute between Flair and WWE appears to be over for now.
