Ric Flair had the perfect WWE sendoff of his career. On his final RAW night, he defeated Randy Orton. Then, in his final WWE match at WrestleMania 26, he wrestled one of the greatest wrestlers Shawn Michaels and had the best farewell segment on the next night of RAW.
Shawn Michaels uttered the words, "I'm sorry. I love you" before delivering Sweet Chin Music to Nature Boy. It went down as one of the most emotional moments in history.
His retirement was truly a heart-touching moment that fans will remember forever.

Tejas has been an AEW writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2021. Possessing a degree in Food Processing Technology, it was his brother who introduced him to Sportskeeda, and he has never looked back since.
Tejas’ writing style is analytical and descriptive style, mostly sticking to statistics. He believes in thoroughly checking all statistics and information before using them in his articles to ensure his readers get nothing but the best and most accurate stories. He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.
His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.
In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
