Elimination Chamber was a pretty exciting WWE event after a long while. None of the fights let the fans down. People were hyped till the very end. In fact, it can be said that the energy level of the audience reached its peak especially at the end. The main event of the night featured Sami Zayn going up against Roman Reigns in front of the Canadian wrestler’s family. As Reigns had sworn earlier, he made Zayn’s family watch as he was brutally destroying him. However, the match was filled with many twists and turns. In fact, Zayn even managed to pin the Universal WWE Champion. However, since the official wasn’t conscious, it couldn’t be considered as a win. Despite everything, Zayn’s performance was impeccable. The way the fight ended actually left a lot of people wanting more.
A lot of fans expect a rematch between the fighters again. However, after observing the fight pretty closely, WWE legend, Ric Flair has given his opinion on the same. He considered every close detail and, while keeping the marketing aspect in mind, he came to a conclusion.

What does Ric Flair think of Sami Zayn?
Although the WWE legend has acknowledged the fight and its future prospect, he doesn’t seem to think too well of it. In turn, he states the reason. According to him, it might lead to a three-way fight in the future, but it might not be as “meaningful” as it needs to be. Flair was asked in a podcast posted on his official YouTube channel, “did you expect it to turn into a threeway? Do you think it becomes a tag affair now with the Usos and Kevin Owens?”

The former wrestling star loves the prospect it holds. He has seen great three-way matches in all his life. However, according to him, “it’s not nearly as meaningful, especially if in a threeway the champion doesn’t get beat.” It appears as though the legend himself sees how Reigns profits the company. Due to this, it is very unlikely for him to face defeat unless something major happens.
Ric Flair’s thoughts on Roman Reigns
