Triple H needs to bring back WWE Hall of Famer after more than three years to become Cody Rhodes' manager
WWE CCO Triple H always looks to make the storylines compelling and one of the top feuds in the company right now is between The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes. The heel faction currently has no manager/Wiseman after attacking Paul Heyman and seemingly kicking him out of the group a few weeks ago. However, The Game could bring back Ric Flair as the Undisputed WWE Champion's manager to elevate his reign to the next level.
The 16-time World Champion has reportedly departed from All Elite Wrestling even before making a full year with the promotion. Ric Flair arrived late last year during Sting's farewell tour and threw some hands against The Young Bucks during their feud against Sting and Darby Allin.
The last time Ric Flair was a part of the WWE in 2021, the company was still under Vince McMahon's regime however, the promotion has entirely transformed ever since Triple H took over as the Head of Creative in 2022. Flair has mentored Hunter in his career and both men even ran the Evolution faction alongside Randy Orton and Batista from 2003 to 2025.
Triple H could bring him back to the company and pair him up with Cody Rhodes to freshen up his babyface character or make him a major heel on the SmackDown brand. The Nature Boy also has some history with Cody's father Dusty Rhodes during their time together in WCW and NWA.
Ric Flair as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes' manager
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes has stated recently that he's open to having a manager in the Stamford-based promotion. Many believe that his manager might end up being Arn Anderson who has also departed from AEW however, a major twist could make Rhodes' character interesting.
The Game could bring back Ric Flair and align him with Cody Rhodes as The Nature Boy possesses incredible promo skills to make The American Nightmare into a believable threat. Flair as Cody's manager can also be a fresh story as we rarely see a babyface World Champion being managed.
Ric Flair could turn on Cody Rhodes and side with Randy Orton during their feud
Randy Orton has been keeping himself close to Cody Rhodes ever since he won the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL. The Viper has been caught eyeing the title several times during his segments with Rhodes and is planting seeds for his eventual heel turn on his former Legacy partner.
An interesting twist that Triple H could make in the storyline is to bring Ric Flair back as a babyface and shockingly make him turn on Cody Rhodes to align with his former Evolution stablemate Randy Orton. The turn could make for some great storytelling as the last time Orton and Flair were together in the ring, The Viper took him out with a Punt Kick.
Return to the WWE with Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair has been out of action since December last year due to a knee injury. The former Women's Champion has had surgery however, the timeline of her return is unknown.
Triple H can book a memorable return for Charlotte by bringing her back with her father, Ric Flair. The father-son duo could be a great heel alliance for the Women's division and get heat from the audience.
Charlotte Flair was involved in the WWE Women's Championship title picture in December before her injury. It will be interesting to see if she wins the title back after her return.
