The reel shows Andrade performing a suplex on the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair, his future father-in-law, to be precise.

Hopefully, no family drama ensues from this friendly move.

We can confirm that no WWE Hall of Famers were injured during the making of the video. Everyone seems to be enjoying the sun and the suplex, Ric Flair included! It may have reminded him of his younger years in the wrestling business.

The caption in Spanish read ‘Un amigo’ meaning ‘A friend’ in English, and ‘The Queen‘ Charlotte Flair is heard laughing in the background. Can family fun get better than this?
