Overview
- Flair posted a new video saying he is no longer upset about losing his Roots of Fight apparel deal and that he views the move as business.
- He released the video after a public post in which he said WWE told him he could not be associated with the retro clothing brand.
- In that earlier message he accused WWE of trying to diminish his legacy and said he repaid $800,000 to Vince McMahon.
- He also cited income from Fiterman Sports and Ric Flair Drip and thanked AEW chief Tony Khan, a shout-out that coverage said prompted fresh speculation about his AEW ties.
- WWE had not issued a public response at the time of the reports, and the dispute highlights how the company can limit third-party merchandise that uses a wrestler’s name or image.
