Andrade El Idolo had an excellent match at TripleMania XXIX as he challenged Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Championship at the event. It also saw Ric Flair accompanying him to the ring. Ric Flair did his appearance at the event free of charge as well. It seems Charlotte Flair had a part to play in Ric Flair appearing in the event.
Ric Flair also interfered in the match in a huge way but despite all his help, Kenny Omega came out on top and successfully retained his title. Kenny Omega then put Andrade on blast for bringing Ric Flair to the event.
Andrade El Idolo’s fiance Charlotte Flair also attended the event and she was determined to make it for TripleMania XXIX no matter what.
While speaking to Renee Paquette on Oral Sessions, The Queen claimed that she was the one who asked her father Ric Flair to accompany Andrade El Idolo during the event.
“So I took off and I was like, ‘No, I wouldn’t miss it for the world’ and then, [with] my dad being gone, I asked him on Wednesday, I was like, ‘Hey, what are you doing this weekend?’ He’s like, ‘Nothing hunny, why?’ I’m like, ‘You wanna go to Mexico?’ He was like, ‘For what? Cancun? Don’t you have to work?’ I’m like, ‘No dad, I’m not going to the beach.’ I’m like, ‘It’s Manny versus Kenny.’ He’s like, ‘Really!? Yeah, I’d love to watch it with you.’ I’m like, ‘No dad, will you walk Manny to the ring?’ He was like, ‘You want me to walk Manny to the ring?’ And I’m like, ‘Yes.’ He’s like, ‘Oh my God, yes hunny, please,’ like so excited.”
As for Ric Flair, he is not under any non-compete clause after his WWE release and could appear at any promotion whenever he wants to. Flair is set to return to the NWA later on this month as well. We will have to wait and see if he will also go to AEW to be with Andrade El Idolo.
