“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair is considered one of the biggest stars in the world of professional wrestling history. He was one of the biggest attractions of the wrestling world of his time and he is widely idolized by many top stars of even today. One of his biggest fans has been John Cena, who had been the biggest star of his time.
Ric Flair is thoroughly regarded as a 16 times World Champion throughout his WWE career after he returned to the promotion in 2002. It was a big record that no one ever achieved in WWE before. Flair may have been addressed as a 16 times World Champion, but he did not achieve this number only in WWE, but in WCW, NWA, and WWE combined.
Ric Flair Wants John Cena to Break His Record And Become A Bigger Star Than Him
Cena was the first wrestler and only wrestler so far in WWE to win the WWE World title 16 times in total. A lot of fans expected him to bear Flair’s record but Cena announced earlier this year that he will retire from in ring action in 2025. Despite this announcement, a huge number of fans want him to break the record of Flair before his retirement.
John Cena is a 16 Times WWE World Champion
Much like the fans, Ric Flair also wants Cena to break his record. Speaking on Busted Open Radio recently, Flair said; “John Cena doesn’t want to break a record. He doesn’t give a sh*t about that. He’s in a different world now. Wrestling will always be his passion but he doesn’t care [about breaking the record].”
John Cena Announced that He will Retire in 2025
There are rumors that Cena will go on to win the men’s Royal Rumble match to earn the opportunity to challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania 41. Some of the fans also believe that Cena should win the WWE Intercontinental Championship to become a Grand Slam Champion.
But there are also some wrestlers who believe that Cena should not win any championship at the brink of his retirement since he is already retiring and winning a championship at this situation may be more like taking away a big opportunity for a younger and emerging star, especially at WrestleMania.
