Ric Flair will be sticking around AEW for a while after he made his AEW debut on Wednesday’s Dynamite episode, years after it was believed to have happened, as Flair was revealed as Tony Khan’s gift to Sting, who is set to retire at next year’s Revolution PPV.
Sting praised his tag team partner, Darby Allin, and reminisced about their time in Philadelphia. Flair expressed his excitement for this opportunity to be by Sting’s side until his retirement at Revolution.
Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, and Luchasaurus then confronted the fan favorites, leading to a trios match being booked for Full Gear. The match will feature the heels against Sting, Allin, and a mystery partner.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Khan wanted to bring in Flair and he will be with AEW through at least March.
