WWE held a birthday celebration for WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair on Monday’s episode of RAW in Atlanta, GA at the State Farm Arena.
There were several notable names that made an appearance on this show for the segment. Those names include Shawn Michaels, Sting, Ricky Steamboat, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle, and Batista.
It all started with McMahon and Triple H walking out to the ring that had a cake and balloons where they would introduce guests as well as Flair. A video package aired to show some of the biggest moments from his legendary career in the pro wrestling business.
They also created a custom World Title Belt. Just as Flair was about to walk out to the ring for his celebration, we see Batista dragging a cameraman to the locker room of Flair and he pulled out the pro wrestling legendary who had been attacked. He asked Triple H if he got his attention and then left. This closed the show.

Flair was last seen on WWE television when he appeared on the SmackDown 1000th episode for an Evolution appearance back a few months back alongside Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista.
It’s always great to see “The Nature Boy” considering the major health issues that he suffered in August 2017. The most serious complications were kidney failure, necessitating dialysis treatment and ongoing hospitalization. Flair had surgery in Georgia to remove an obstructive piece of his bowel back in December.
