Meanwhile, it has been learned that Ric Flair did not stop here after his trademark claim against Lynch. The Nature Boy had threatened WWE of legal action for allowing someone else to use his catchphrase without his permission. As per foreign media reports, Flair had asked WWE to pay him as long as Becky Lynch uses the catchphrase. In case if you don't know, the multiple-time world champion's catchphrase was 'To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man' during his heydays. He had first started using it way back in 1981. At the same time, it has also been learned that the WWE Hall of Famer has been unfollowed on Twitter by two big WWE superstars. One of them is the reigning WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins who is Becky Lynch's fiance and the other superstar is Triple H, who is one of Flair's best as well as old friends. Both of them were also part of 'Evolution' which was head by the 'King of Kings'. Evolution is one of the best teams in WWE history and arguably the best in the Ruthless Aggression era.
