WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has sent a stern warning to John Cena regarding the upcoming Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
The 16-time world champion made his intentions crystal clear through a passionate social media statement that not only celebrated his legacy but also included a direct threat to physically intervene in the championship bout.
In his tweet posted on March 2, 2025, Flair commemorated the 25th anniversary of what WWE recognizes as his 16th and final world championship victory. The Nature Boy first reflected on his illustrious career, mentioning legendary opponents like Harley Race, Bruiser Brody, Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Bret Hart, Undertaker, and Ricky Steamboat.
After acknowledging his past achievements, Flair shifted his focus to the current championship picture, writing: “Let’s Get Serious! @JohnCena, I Love You And Respect You, But You Ain’t Taking Nothing From @CodyRhodes!”
The WWE legend didn’t stop there. In a shocking declaration, Flair threatened to take extreme measures to ensure Cena doesn’t succeed: “If I Have To Fight My Way Through Security To Hit The Ring, I Will. I’ll Take The Day Off Of Blood Thinners. LFG! Let’s Do This!”
Background to the Confrontation
While Flair publicly frames his involvement as defending Rhodes’ honor, his true motivation appears to be protecting his legacy. Currently tied with Cena at 16 world championship reigns, Flair seems determined to prevent the breaking of his historic record – even if it means risking his health by temporarily stopping his blood thinners.
The personal connection between Flair and the Rhodes family adds another layer to this story, as Cody’s father Dusty was one of Flair’s greatest rivals. With The Rock already in Cena’s corner, Flair’s potential involvement could create a more balanced scenario at WrestleMania 41, making this one of the most anticipated matches in recent memory.
As the event approaches, the wrestling world waits to see if the Nature Boy will indeed make good on his threat to intervene in this high-stakes championship bout.
