Ric Flair Says John Cena ‘Doesn’t Give a S**t’ About Record

“John Cena doesn’t want to break the record, he doesn’t give a s**t about that,” Ric Flair says. John is in a different world now. Wrestling will always be his passion, but he doesn’t care about beating (the record). I still think the biggest thing in the business, when it happens, it’ll be a real game changer, just like she is in real life, is her breaking the title record or even tying it. I believe it’s in the cards. I can look at the show and watch. It’s a woman’s world now and she’s the best woman’s wrestler alive. I think maybe this time off, as unfortunate as it was because of the severity of the injury, I think she’s been able to look back and realize just how damn good she is. I guarantee, when she walks back in the door at whatever show, SmackDown or Raw, it’s a game changer. I would bet $10,000 that the first match she wrestles, if it’s a good opponent, would get a rating that will be the highest women’s rating in a long time in a singles match.”

Charlotte Flair has missed all of 2024 after tearing her ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a “SmackDown” match with Asuka on December 8, 2023, but there has been speculation about her imminent return.
