Ric Flair Pitched Turning On Sting To Close AEW Revolution, 'I Haven't Heard From Them Since'

Posted: Jul 15th 2024 By: Jeremy Lambert

Ric Flair had a big idea for AEW Revolution.

Sting capped off his legendary career at AEW Revolution, teaming with Darby Allin to face The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson). Ric Flair was in the corner of Sting, and got involved in the match.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Flair revealed he pitched a different ending for the match.

"I gave them a finish to that match. They looked at me like I had seven different things....I don't think Tony (Khan) knew that I was on blood thinners. I've been doing all that shit for all these years. I've had that blood clot since 2012. Tony, if he asked me once, he asked me ten times, 'Do not cut yourself.' What I wanted to do. I wanted those guys to have the same match, but at the end, instead of leaving my laying there like that, just keep me on the outside the whole time. At the end, as Sting is standing there and those guys are gone, I jump on Sting, boom, boom, boom, he does one big move to me, puts the scorpion (death lock) on me, and we go out the way we started 31 years ago. It would have blown the roof off the joint and it would have made me a heel so I had somewhere to go. It's hard to get the people to get mad at me now," said Flair.

He then said with a laugh, "I haven't heard back from them since. 'Ric that's a great idea. We'll call you later on.'"

Mark Henry said that Ric was unlikely to hear back.

"I think we disappointed a lot of people by me not turning," stated Flair.

Flair has not been back on AEW television since AEW Revolution.
