Ric Flair’s turbulent history with WWE is well known to the WWE fanbase. The infamous “Plane Ride from Hell” event was included in a Dark Side of the Rings series that aired last year. After the show, WWE took Flair’s signature “Woo” out of their opening intro and stopped offering his merchandise in their WWE store.
Flair was upset that WWE had removed his introduction, and he decided that he will never again collaborate with Nick Khan at WWE for the rest of his life. However, WWE recently brought back the legendary “Woo” of The Nature Boy in their opener. It appears that business ties with the corporation are once again positive.

Everything Vince McMahon has ever said to me my entire life has come true. He said, ‘I’m gonna put you back on,’ and he did. [H/T: Fightful]”
