#1 Ric Flair not happy with WWE

Ric Flair had been firmly by the side of Randy Orton over the past few months before he was brutally attacked by The Viper on WWE RAW this week. It has been reported that this was a way to write off Ric Flair from WWE and he will not be appearing anytime soon.

Tom Colohue has stated that Ric Flair is unhappy with WWE as he was initially supposed to part of SummerSlam. He revealed that the original plans were to have Flair in Orton's corner at SummerSlam.

''I did report this on my own YouTube on the RAW review that came out yesterday. Essentially what I'm reporting is that Flair was still supposed to be there come SummerSlam. He should have been in Randy Orton's corner, and then after that, we would have had a segment similar to this but not the same. But with the health situation changing both personally which pertains to Ric Flair and company-wide, the decision was made last week, quite the last second, to write him off.''

He also revealed that the promo was mostly unscripted as it was a last-minute call.
