WWE nixed the current storyline of Ric Flair & Lacey Evans going against ‘The Queen’ Charlotte Flair after Lacey Evans pregnancy announcement on Raw. On his latest appearance on Busted Open Radio, Ric Flair revealed the rejected ideas for Lacey Evans storyline.
Ric Flair said that he had many ideas but WWE didn’t cleared him to get into the ring even though his doctors cleared him. Here what Ric Flair said:
“I did have some ideas. The problem was, they wouldn’t want me to get in the ring because it’s so hard to get me cleared because of my health issues. Even though I have been cleared by my doctors, I just don’t think that they are prepared to let me get in the ring. In case something happened, it would never be, like I could have 40 releases, but it would that, why the hell are you doing it? Why the hell did you let him do that?”
The Nature Boy also revealed the creative idea that he had in mind for Lacey Evans storyline that he wants to train with her and show her how to emulate him but they didn’t allow him to get into the ring.
“I actually wanted to, you know, put on sweat clothes and wanted to work out with her, which I thought would have been great. You know, teach her some things and just have her actually emulate my character. Yeah, doing the flips, suplex in, turn around, begging off (laughs). Oh, I had it all written down, but they wouldn’t let me get in the ring. I had the master plan; It would have been fun (laughs).”
Ric Flair also revealed that things have worked out well for Evans but she was initially upset for storyline getting cancelled. And also Evans was very happy for welcoming another child to the world.
“It never came to fruition, and I’m happy that things worked out like it did, especially for her because I think she was a little upset, a little bit. But then she said, ‘Gosh, I’m having a baby.’ This is what is supposed to happen. I’m young. I have a beautiful daughter, and I have got a second one on the way. So, everybody wants to be on TV, but in this case, she is not going to be on TV for a while. It’s for a very wonderful reason that we are all aware of.”
