Ric Flair Claims He Didn’t Get Invited To WrestleMania 42 Because He Threatened To Beat Up Ludwig Kaiser At WrestleMania 41

Ric Flair claims he was banned from WrestleMania 42 due to an incident from before WrestleMania 41.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Flair gave his side of what happened and why he wasn’t at WrestleMania 42.

“I didn’t get invited to WrestleMania this year. I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s [boyfriend Ludwig Kaiser] last year and I wasn’t allowed to go. A 24-year-old kid, threatened, by a 76-old-man, and I can’t go to WrestleMania. Are you kidding me? That English kid. He’s going to go as far in wrestling as a gnat. He’ll be a fly on the wall in a year,” he said.

Kaiser is 35 years old. He was dating Tiffany Stratton last year during her angle with Charlotte Flair, where Tiffany mentioned Charlotte’s divorces, and Charlotte responded that Kaiser was in her DMs.

“They had that thing where Tiffany made smart remarks about Ashley’s divorces, which we both know she’s not smart enough to have written, somebody gave her the script. He implied that he wouldn’t ‘bum one’ off Ashley. Okay, I need your number, and I got it, because I can get anyone’s number that I want any minute of any day. I called him and said, ‘When I see you, I’m going to beat the shit out of you.’ He went like a little bitch, told Hunter, and I wasn’t allowed to go. He’s going to really go far in the business. A 76-year-old tells a 24-year-old kid that he’s going to kick his ass and where is he now? Is he even on the roster? Little punk,” he said.

Kaiser is portraying El Grande Americano II in AAA.

Charlotte and Tiffany wrestled at WrestleMania 41, with Tiffany scoring the victory.
