AEW advertised an appearance by Ric Flair and Ricky
Steamboat for last night’s Blood and Guts Dynamite but it
was only Steamboat who made it live on television.
While he did not appear in front of cameras, the “Nature
Boy” appeared very briefly for the audience as he did make
it to Greensboro for the show. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling
Observer reported that Flair was in pain due to a recent
rotator cuff tear and could not be included in the planned
angle, prompting re-writes for the show.
Steamboat worked an angle with FTR during the broadcast
where he was confronted by the former AEW Tag Team champions
and was about to get on the receiving end of a spike
piledriver, only for Brodido to save the day. The Hall of
Famer did eventually get some few chops in and the faces
reigned supreme by the end of the segment.
Steamboat did mention Flair during his in-ring promo but did
not refer to him as being there.
