#2. Hope isn't true: WWE cut portions of the Randy Orton-Ric Flair segment

Ric Flair wasn't particularly happy about being written off from WWE television. However, the segment on RAW where he was assaulted was undoubtedly one of the best segments of the year, and the intensity of it all made for a magical moment.

However, there was a lot more to the promo than what we saw. According to Fightful Select, WWE chopped off parts of the segment. Sportskeeda's Kishan Prasad wrote:

Fightful Select has reported that the segment between Randy Orton and Ric Flair that aired last week was edited. A few moments from the segment were shot but didn't make it broadcast television.

It was revealed that there were minutes that ended up getting wasted.

The report states that Randy Orton's segment was longer than what was televised. Many people who were in attendance have told the site that "minutes" of material ended up not getting used in the final cut that was shown last week. The reason for the edit reported wasn't the quality of the promo but was the fact that the show was running out of time.

We hope this isn't true because it was a great segment and fans should've got to watch the full version.
