Are you surprised? There have been a lot of moves made in the wrestling world over the last few months, with wrestlers leaving one promotion to head to another. Almost every combination of moves have taken place with some rather big names making a jump of some time. That seems like it is going to be the case again sooner rather than later with quite the legendary name.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the belief backstage in AEW is the Ric Flair will be joining the company as soon as he is legally able to do so. Flair was released from WWE in July and is waiting on his no compete clause to end before he can join AEW. There is no word on how long his no compete clause lasts before he will be allowed to move. It is also not clear what Flair will be doing in AEW.

Flair is always worth a look. Check out some of his long career:

Opinion: This isn’t exactly a huge surprise as Flair to AEW has been about as obvious as possible since the second he left WWE. Flair could still offer quite a few things to AEW, even if it is nothing more than making appearances and talking about how great the company is. I hope that he isn’t going to wrestle, but it would not exactly surprise me if that is what winds up happening.

What do you think of Flair making the jump? What should he do in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
