The world of pro-wrestling is surely unpredictable. Who would’ve thought that we’d see ‘The Dirtiest Player in the Game’ Ric Flair and ‘The Belt Collector’ Kenny Omega in the same ring. But it did happen!

The 16-time World Champion made a surprise entrance at Mexican professional wrestling promotion Lucha Libre AAA’s TripleMania XXIX show.

Yes, you read it right. Flair flew all the way to Mexico to be in Andrade el Idolo’s corner. Andrade was scheduled to take on Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Championship.

Eventually, Ric Flair got involved too. After a thrilling match, both Flair and Andrade started trading chops on Kenny to a huge pop from the crowd.

Andrade had the mental advantage because he was fresh. Meanwhile, Kenny headed into the match physically exhausted and with a loss at AEW Rampage in the back of his mind. Why? Well, because the latter lost his Impact World Championship to Christian Cage at said show.

However, ‘The Belt Collector’ was not an easy target tonight, and he tried everything in his arsenal.
