Two-time WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair recently took to his “To Be The Man” podcast to discuss a number of topics such as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns retaining his title against Drew McIntyre in the main event of the company’s Clash At The Castle Event and why it was the right decision for Drew McIntyre to lose the match.

Ric Flair said:

“It’s not that Drew didn’t deserve to win but if you’re gonna get eventually if that’s the plan, which we all hope it is and I’m sure the company hopes it is. I’m assuming the company, never hope or assume anything, but if the plan is The Rock and Roman I just think the words ‘Heavyweight Championship’ are very important in that match.”

“And I think taking the belt off Roman and taking nothing away from Drew, Drew could very easily carry it and be a good champion as well. But the big match for the company, maybe one of the biggest of all time, obviously is Rock, if he elects to do that and Roman. So the way they did it didn’t hurt Drew at all. And Drew, you know, he’s always gonna be great.”
