Length of Ric Flair's AEW contract revealed, may surprise some fans - Reports

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair sent shockwaves through the wrestling world by signing a multi-year contract with AEW.

Following the official announcement, it was revealed that the new deal will make Ric Flair's Wooooo Energy brand the official energy drink of AEW. It was also reported that The Nature Boy's contract is similar to the deal that WWE legend Randy Savage signed with WCW in the 1990s, meaning that Wooooo Energy will cover a significant portion of his salary.

Flair's announcement came following his shocking debut on Dynamite last week as a gift for Sting. The Icon is set to wrap up his career, revealing that he will retire at Revolution 2024. While wrestling fans are abuzz with excitement to see Flair in Tony Khan's promotion, many are wondering how long The Nature Boy has signed with AEW.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Flair, along with his business partner Chad Bronstein, confirmed that his deal with AEW is for two years.
