Ric Flair is not happy that is daughter missed out on main eventing night one of WrestleMania 39.
At the Showcase Of The Immortals, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley didn’t main event night one, despite the belief they may. Instead, WWE went with the tag team championship match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and The Usos.
During his podcast, To Be The Man, Ric Flair discussed WWE’s decision to “break tradition” at WrestleMania 39 and have the WWE tag team title match close the show instead of a singles match.
“We’re talking about what I think should personally happen in the promotion. There’s no way that Sami and KO and The Usos would go on after Ashley [Charlotte] and Rhea, no way. Only in the WWE. [Conrad says that he thinks that The Usos vs. KO and Sami had the better story] That’s not the point. We’re talking about a single Championship from a girl that won the Royal Rumble. Why are we just breaking tradition just for one [night], for what? Why are we breaking tradition for one night?”

Charlotte herself had previously addressed this issue, stating that WWE had double standards regarding the main event of the show being the tag team championship bout.
