Ric Flair Admits Trying to Kiss Stephanie McMahon During Controversial WWE RAW Segment
Ric Flair admits he wanted to kiss Stephanie McMahon in 2016 RAW segment. Post draws mixed reactions on social media.
The wrestling world rarely lacks for eyebrow-raising moments, especially when certain legends take to social media. Ric Flair has once again found himself at the center of attention after making a surprisingly candid admission about a past interaction with Stephanie McMahon, proving that his trademark boundary-pushing personality remains fully intact whether in the ring or online.
Flair recently shared a clip on X featuring Stephanie slapping him during a 2016 RAW segment, adding the comment:
Definitely not the first time I’ve been slapped. I wish I had the opportunity to kiss you first @StephMcMahon! WOOOOO!
The post quickly split the fanbase down the middle – some fans took it as classic Flair being Flair, while others felt the comment crossed a line considering the professional nature of the original TV segment. This latest social media stir adds to a long list of provocative statements from the wrestling icon over the years, consistently keeping him in conversations even when he’s not regularly appearing on programming.
With Flair already confirmed to make an appearance at WrestleMania 41 later this month, his social media activity maintains his relevance heading into WWE’s biggest showcase. While his exact role remains undefined, his ability to generate buzz with just a few words shows why he remains such a valuable part of the wrestling ecosystem. Love him or hate him, Flair continues to demonstrate that sometimes the most effective way to stay relevant isn’t through matches but through maintaining that larger-than-life personality that made him famous in the first place.
