Will “The Nature Boy” be appearing live from the Barclays Center?
No official word has been released on Flair’s involvement in tonight’s episode of “Raw,” but speculation is that he will be discussing John Cena’s failed attempt to tie his record of 16 World Heavyweight Championship reigns last night at WWE “SummerSlam.”
As previously reported, Cena lost his Title vs. Title “Winner Take All” match to Seth Rollins at “SummerSlam,” not only costing him his United States Championship, but also failing to tie Flair’s all-time record.
Cena lost the match when “SummerSlam” host Jon Stewart came down to the ring with a steel chair, with the referee on the outside, pretending like he has going to hit Rollins. Surprisingly, Stewart then hit Cena with the chair, setting up Rollins to Pedigree Cena. The previously knocked out referee returned to the ring to count the victory for Rollins.
Flair might also be live tonight to discuss Cena’s comments made during the Aug. 17 edition of “Raw.” During the contract signing for the Title vs. Title match, Cena talked about Flair being Triple H’s mentor, and how him winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship would also be a loss for WWE’s COO.

Editor’s Note:
I am interested to see what Flair has to say, if it is indeed about Cena’s failed opportunity. But for now, I will just leave you with a WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
