It bothers me because I know these people. It bothers me Jim Ross is at the shows. I mean, that really, really bothers me. Lawler, they took off so that's not an issue, but personally it bothers me because I know these people and I don't think a wrestling show is worth the risk. I just, I really don't.

Ric Flair recently turned heel on an episode of RAW
Ric Flair is 71 years old and recently appeared on an episode of WWE RAW. He confronted Big Show and threw some insults at the giant. A short while ago, Flair had appeared on RAW and delivered a low blow to Christian, aiding Randy Orton in defeating him.
Dubbed as the Dirtiest Player in the Game, Flair initially hinted that he was concerned for Christian's well-being but turned on him in no time.
The coronavirus crisis is showing no signs of slowing down and it's quite understandable that Russo wouldn't want to see Flair put himself at risk. A bunch of WWE personnel have recently tested positive for COVID-19, including Renee Young and Jamie Noble.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
