It appears that Ric Flair will not be on camera this Sunday at WrestleMania. Mike Johnson is reporting that Vince only sees Flair as just another performer and nothing more. He respects Flairâs contributions to the wrestling business but doesnât see him being important enough to be on the show.
There was a plan for Carlito and Flair to work a match at the show but those plans have changed. So unless they do a quick cameo backstage, we wonât be seeing Flair on this yearâs WrestleMania PPV.
In related news, the WWE creative team does not have Johnny Nitro sketched in to the show for a wrestling match. It appears that he may do a backstage interview or maybe accompany Melina in her match with Ashley.
Joey Mercuryâs release has not affected Nitroâs status.
