And, while at least one WWE superstar has pulled out over health concerns, Ric tells TMZ Sports the wrestling org. is doing everything they can to protect the ‘Mania performers, which includes his own superstar daughter, Charlotte Flair.
“I’m more than content that they have put enough safety measure in place.” Flair says.
“Keep in mind, they also gave everybody an opportunity to not be part of it. So, anybody that was there, nobody had their arm twisted. It was strictly a voluntary basis.”
Flair says the wrestlers are STOKED for WM36 — explaining, “They worked their whole year, actually some of them work their whole career to be in a high level match in Wrestle Mania.”
“Obviously there’s gonna be some changes but it’s gonna be a great show.”
