As announced by AEW, former WWE Superstar Paul Wight, also known as The Big Show, will make his first live appearance for the company in the next episode of Dynamite.
The former WWE Superstar’s AEW subscription was the most surprising news of the past few days, and several members of the wrestling community reacted to the development.
Ric Flair now commented on Big Show’s entry to AEW during a recent chat with David LaGreca and Bubba Ray Dudley on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio.
The WWE Hall of Famer revealed that although he has spent a lot of time with Big Show lately, he did not know that Wight was on his way to AEW.
“No, I didn’t. I have been very close to the Big Show lately and we have been friends for a long time. I remember the night he came to Chicago, Horizon. I was fighting Hogan that night, and he came with a friend and was introduced to all of us. “
Ric Flair had a lot of admiration for Paul Wight and also revealed whether he knew about the Superstar’s intentions to leave WWE.
Flair may be heavily involved with WWE today, but he doesn’t feel the need to go behind the scenes for information. The Nature Boy recalled that he met Big Show during the WWE Legends Night Raw episode.
“He was a wonderful boy, and he is still a wonderful guy, but I don’t know what happened. I try not to ask, you know as if we went in there where we were all aware we are there all the time and I’ve been there a lot. But now I have discovered that it is a different world and it is better not to ask. Instead of watching and trying to catch up, I just pretend I’m there, say hi and everything. To answer your question, I was alone with him, and not I saw it happen. He didn’t say a word to me, and I was with him two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and whenever they had Legends Runion, he was there. “
I wish you had stayed with us personally? Yes: Ric Flair on Paul Wight’s decision to leave WWE
