Ric Flair has revealed a rejected pitch he made for Sting’s retirement match at Revolution, saying he hasn’t heard from AEW since.

The two-time WWE Hall of Famer was brought into AEW earlier this year, where he was brought in ahead of Sting’s retirement match at AEW Revolution.
Sting’s final match main evented the show, with he and Darby Allin scoring the victory over the Young Bucks to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Sting has not appeared on AEW television since Revolution, and he has now detailed a pitch he made to turn on Sting in the match, saying he hasn’t heard from the company since.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, he said:
“I gave them a finish to that match. They looked at me like I had seven different things….I don’t think Tony (Khan) knew that I was on blood thinners. I’ve been doing all that s**t for all these years. I’ve had that blood clot since 2012. Tony, if he asked me once, he asked me ten times, ‘Do not cut yourself.’
“What I wanted to do. I wanted those guys to have the same match, but at the end, instead of leaving my laying there like that, just keep me on the outside the whole time. At the end, as Sting is standing there and those guys are gone, I jump on Sting, boom, boom, boom, he does one big move to me, puts the scorpion (death lock) on me, and we go out the way we started 31 years ago. It would have blown the roof off the joint and it would have made me a heel so I had somewhere to go. It’s hard to get the people to get mad at me now.
“I haven’t heard back from them since. ‘Ric that’s a great idea. We’ll call you later on.'”

It was recently reported that Ric Flair’s Wooooo! Energy deal with AEW was seemingly over, and that Flair has not been brought up creatively within the company since Revolution.
