‘I’d Be the First To...’: Flair on Cena Breaking His World Title Record in Latter’s Retirement Tour

Ever since John Cena announced that he would be retiring from the wrestling ring, several fans have been jolted by his decision. But before he leaves, Cena promised to the fans to deliver some of his final matches, which will go on till the end of the year 2025. A lot of buzz has been emerging on whom the leader of the Cenation should face for one last time as he eventually steps down from in-ring action. As the anticipation grows, some calls have been made for him to eclipse Ric Flair's historic 16 Championship reigns. Speaking on the scenario, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up on Cena surpassing him in the official championship count.

Ric Flair opens up on the idea of John Cena surpassing his World Championship title reigns 

During an appearance on the Busted Open Radio, Ric Flair opened up on the situation as he said that he would be delighted if John Cena eclipses his title reigns.

"I think so much, personally, of John Cena. If they do it with John, I have no problem. I'd be the first one to hit the ring and shake his hand. Another guy, in my eyes, that would deserve to be the world champion and break that record is Randy Orton. To be on top for 20 years, like John and Randy have, that's a long time to be on top," the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair said.

Despite his backing for Cena, Flair's ultimate pick to win the majority of world championships would be his daughter Charlotte Flair.

John Cena has also been calling for the one last World Championship title run, and the retirement tour could be the perfect stage to do so. However, all things will now depend on WWE's Creative Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque and whether or not he pulls the trigger in order to make it happen.
