Two-time Ric Flair recently made headlines when he announced his divorce from his fifth wife, Wendy Barlow. While the news of his latest divorce was running wild, the Nature Boy confessed in an interview that multiple wrestlers and friends called him to ask about his whereabouts. However, he admitted that no WWE personnel contacted him. Recently, Flair name-dropped Triple H on his latest podcast, claiming they are not in contact.
Lately, things have been pretty hard for the WWE COO, Triple H. Back in 2021, HHH was hospitalized because of his heart condition. Furthermore, while he was still recovering, the NXT brand was ‘revamped’ and many of his close associates are now not in WWE.

Speaking on the latest episode of ‘The Wooooo Nation‘ podcast, the 16-time World Champion admitted that lately he and ‘The Cerebral Assassin’ are not in contact anymore.
“I don’t know either, I have no idea either. He and I were incredibly close, but now I never hear from him,” said Flair.
Things have been pretty weird between the former WCW World Champion and WWE. Since last year, the Nature Boy took some major shots on WWE by claiming that the company is trying to erase his legacy.
Ric Flair and Triple H were extremely close
Back in the mid-2000s, The Game and the Nature Boy were utterly close in WWE. The two of them were part of the legendary faction, The Evolution. HHH admitted that it was Flair’s mettle that helped him succeed as a wrestler.
