According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has already taped an angle that will officially write Ric Flair off from WWE television. Here is what Meltzer said:
“It’s already taped so Ric Flair is there and the Ric Flair angle I guess is probably already taped unless they canned it. At the last word, when they were doing the taping that afternoon, the Ric Flair angle was definitely still on the show. The only two things that were there [in the script] were Shane McMahon’s thing and the Ric Flair-Randy Orton angle and then they threw that show together at the end.”
WrestlingNews.co also added the following about why WWE is planning to write off Ric from TV:
WrestlingNews.co was told that Flair would be written off during the weeks leading up to Orton vs. Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam because the feeling is that it’s better to solely focus on Orton and McIntyre and there would be no need to use Flair in this feud.
UPDATE: According to @Wrestlevotes, Shayna Baszler will be appearing on ‘RAW Underground’ tonight:
