During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Ric Flair revealed he wasn’t invited to WrestleMania 42 after he threatened to beat up WWE and AAA wrestler Ludwig Kaiser, whom he incorrectly referred to as Tiffany Stratton’s husband. The 76-year-old WWE legend confessed he tracked down the wrestler’s number and called him, promising to beat “the sh*t out” of him. However, before things escalated, Kaiser went to Triple H, which, in the opinion of Flair, makes the German wrestler a “little punk.”
“I didn’t get invited to WrestleMania this year. I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s husband. A 24-year-old kid being threatened by a 76-year-old man—and I can’t go to WrestleMania? Are you kidding me? I can get anybody’s number I want, any minute of any day. I called him. I said, ‘Hey, when I see you, I’m gonna beat the shit out of you.’ He went like a little bitch, told Hunter, and I wasn’t allowed to go. He’s gonna really go far in the business. Is he even on the roster? Little punk.” – Ric Flair
The situation is almost certainly related to the unscripted promo between then-WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair, where trash-talking escalated to Stratton mocking Charlotte’s three divorces. Charlotte fired back by loudly asking if that was why Startton’s then-boyfriend, Kaiser, was sliding into her DMs, directly shading Startton’s personal relationship. The off-script exchange blurred kayfabe and reality and was later edited by WWE, but what likely upset Ric was that Kaiser subsequently took to social media to say, “Please do not flatter yourself,” indicating he deemed he was too good for his daughter.
