Ric Flair has publicly apologized to Ludwig Kaiser, walking back his previous comments about the WWE star in a post on X on Monday afternoon.
“Mr. Ludwig Kaiser, I never implied that you couldn’t work, or didn’t have talent. I actually understand that you are doing really well with The Undertaker’s promotion,” Flair wrote. “I am sorry that I got upset. I am naturally very protective of my daughters as I am sure as you grow older, you will be too.”
Flair continued: “I apologize for anything I said about you personally. It was not about your professional skill which I have heard is very good.”
What Led to the Apology
The apology comes weeks after Flair revealed that a confrontation with Kaiser was the reason WWE did not invite him to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. Flair previously admitted to threatening Kaiser, saying his protective instincts as a father got the better of him. WWE reportedly responded by pulling his WrestleMania invitation.
The reference to Kaiser “doing really well with The Undertaker’s promotion” is a nod to WWE AAA, where Undertaker is heavily involved behind the scenes and Kaiser, well…
Flair’s decision to issue the public apology suggests an effort to mend fences, both with Kaiser personally and potentially with WWE as the company moves forward after WrestleMania season.
