#2 Ric Flair introduces a new star to feud with Cody and Arn Anderson
Continuing that Four Horsemen angle, Ric Flair could find himself facing off against Arn Anderson and his protege Cody Rhodes. Should that happen, Flair may be bringing someone to take out the son of his late great rival Dusty Rhodes.
Ric Flair and Arn Anderson have some personal issues that would need to be addressed. Again, going back to that interview with Wrestling Inc., Flair said he brought up Arn by name first because he'd been so close to his family. They were like brothers.
Ric Flair's pain is understandable and completely justifiable. Anyone that's gone through some traumatic loss or had near-death experiences probably understands exactly what he went through. If he's on his way to AEW, though, much like we said regarding Tully Blanchard, this could be a way to start rebuilding the relationship.
Who would Flair bring in to take on the son of Dusty Rhodes, though? Well, Andrade is an option. Though, if a certain NXT Champion were to make the jump, he'd definitely be a prime pick for the Nature Boy, bay-bay.
#1 Ric Flair forms a new Four Horsemen
Of course, why start feuding with his Horsemen buddies when they can work together? That's right, super group time. Tully Blanchard's FTR and Shawn Spears, Arn Anderson's Cody Rhodes and Ric Flair. And yes, FTR and Shawn Spears are currently in The Pinnacle, but how long can that last? Especially with an egomaniac like MJF steering the ship.
Ric Flair could be the catalyst for the whole turn. Why would Tully want to be bossed around by MJF? He's working with, arguably, the best tag team on the roster. He's got a great singles act in Shawn Spears by his side. They should be following no one's rules but their own.
Ric Flair has the ability to refocus FTR on the real goal, the AEW Tag Titles. With Flair and Tully by his side, Shawn Spears could go after any championship he wanted. And Cody?
Well, if Arn Anderson is willing to reunite with Ric Flair, he'd more than likely go along with his coach. Dusty and the Horsemen had some hellacious battles in their careers. It would only make sense to see his son cross that line.
Plus, if we get this, we could see the new Horsemen face off against The Elite. There's surely a way to work around Cody's "never challenge for the AEW World Title" stipulation.
Cody and the legacy of WCW and the NWA versus Kenny Omega, who represents the current era of professional wrestling. It's a money maker to say the least, and one that would be that much sweeter if Flair, Anderson, and Tully were backing Cody up.
