“When Will WWE Get It?” – Ric Flair Fires Shots at WWE, Demanding Justice for the Women’s Division After the Ladies “Stole It” at SummerSlam 2023

WWE SummerSlam returned for a blazing 36th edition on 5th August 2023. The event showcased hot and sizzling wrestling moments and the chaos and madness of many long-awaited battles. But the icing on the cake was how the phenomenal women’s category showcased their fighting prowess and dominance at the prestigious event. 

The success of the event moved legendary wrestler Ric Flair, who couldn’t hold himself back on Twitter. ‘The Nature Boy’ dropped all filters and demanded justice and appreciation for the incredible women athletes and their extraordinary skills. The WWE women are turning the heads of the entire WWE Universe with their performances. Their sheer brilliance inside and outside the ring show that they are easily on par with the men.

The hard work put in by the WWE women at SummerSlam impressed everyone. Considering how pro wrestling has been going on for a long time now, veteran fans rarely see something they don’t expect to happen. But the show put up by the women was one of those rare spectacles.

The bold and fearless approach of SmackDown paid off well. The crowd was hooked when all the risks and gambles of SmackDown worked as the deserving wrestlers walked away with championship belts.

Watching the WWE SummerSlam in all its glory, wrestling legend Ric Flair took to Twitter and praised the incredible Bianca Belair, claiming that Bianca was the real deal. The Championship Match for WWE Women’s SmackDown Champion was flawless.

Flair stated- “Once Again, The Ladies STOLE It! When Will The WWE GET IT? More Athleticism, Excellent Storyline! Please Put Them On Last. Congratulations, Bianca Belair! You’re The Real Deal, WOOOOO!”

Bianca Belair triumphed over Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a jaw-dropping triple-threat match, even after her recent knee pop. However, they weren’t the ones with their eye on the champion. Iyo Sky swooped in like a silent viper waiting to strike, cashing in her Money in The Bank contract to snatch the belt from Belair.

Amidst all the top-tier action and cheering, Ric Flair highlighted a pressing matter and asked a straightforward question – “When will WWE get it?” He criticized SummerSlam 2023 for ignoring the Women’s division’s outstanding accomplishments. The cancellation of the highly anticipated match between Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch at the eleventh hour added more fuel to the fire.

The promised bout that never took place: Trish Stratus vs Becky Lynch

The women’s division lacked enough representation as SummerSlam 2023’s big stage unfolded, leaving important names like Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Trish Stratus notably absent from the card. These obvious absences only support Ric Flair’s assertions that WWE must give the women’s division the attention it rightfully deserves.

One of the major disappointments was the postponement of the highly anticipated match between the legendary Trish Stratus and the ferocious Becky Lynch. 

As SummerSlam is renowned for showcasing top feuds and stars, the absence of these fan favorites left the audience yearning for their electrifying presence. Although the triple threat match was a testament to the talent of the wrestlers involved, it could have been executed better.

It featured Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Bianca Belair, who suffered from lackluster build-up, leaving many underwhelmed. The women’s division’s showcase lacked the initial spark it deserved. Furthermore, Ric Flair’s tweet implies that WWE has veered off course when giving its women’s division the spotlight and recognition they have worked so hard to earn.
