Bully Ray: Triple H’s Respect for Ric Flair May Prevent Breaking 16-Time World Champion Record

WWE legend Bully Ray has shared his thoughts on whether Ric Flair’s record of 16 world championship wins would be broken under the current leadership of Triple H. Ray believes that if Vince McMahon were still in charge, it’s likely that either John Cena or Randy Orton would surpass Flair’s record. However, he suggests that Triple H’s deep respect for Flair might prevent this from happening.

The discussion arose from speculation about a potential feud between Cena and Orton to break Flair’s record, once Orton reaches 16 title reigns. Ray questions whether it’s appropriate to surpass Flair’s accomplishment, citing the respect that Triple H, Cena, and Orton all have for the wrestling icon. He also mentions that while WWE has previously altered other records, such as The Undertaker’s, Flair’s achievement might be considered untouchable.

It’s worth noting that Flair’s 16 world title wins are spread across different wrestling promotions, with only two coming from WWE. In contrast, Cena and Orton have earned all of their world championships within WWE. The topic has gained traction as WWE has referenced it in their programming, which often signals future storyline developments.
