Ric Flair would not have a problem if John Cena broke his World title record.
WWE recognizes Flair as having 16 World Championships reigns, while Cena has 16. Cena is retiring from in-ring competition by 2025. Some fans would like to see him break the record and have a final reign as champion.
Flair said on Busted Open Radio that while he enjoys the record because of its sentimentality he would not mind if Cena broke the record. Flair’s ideal goal is to remain tied with Cena, until Charlotte Flair surpasses them both.
“Do you want the truth as it is? John Cena is a person I admire a lot. I think he’s one of the really great guys. “I’ve met a few,” Flair added. “In a dream world, I would love to see my daughter win, which would be the greatest thing that could happen. I told her once, and she was upset. She wasn’t upset, but didn’t want to be compared. I said: “You’d become as famous as Serena Williams, if you broke the record that has been there for so many years.” She didn’t agree with the comparison. But she is as good as any athlete alive today. But if it’s done with John, then I don’t mind. I would be the first to shake his hand and hit the ring.
Busted Open Radio asked Flair, who is a big fan of Paul “Triple H”, if he thought Levesque might be reluctant to book Cena for breaking the record.
“I personally sort of agree with you. I don’t believe he wants to take the plunge on it,” Flair replied.
Flair said that he loves wrestling and would be happy to see the record broken. He also named Randy Orton, who he said would be a worthy recipient.
Cena’s tour of retirement will last from January to December 2025. The number of dates that he plans to work is “between mid-30s and 40s.”
Although 16 is the number most people recognize, Flair has won more World titles than that. Dave Meltzer points out that Flair has at least 18 reigns.
