Ric Flair has claimed he was “banned” from WrestleMania 42 following an incident involving Ludwig Kaiser, while also issuing a public apology for his remarks.
Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Flair alleged that the situation stemmed from comments Kaiser made in 2025 during a storyline involving Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton. According to Flair, he took issue with what he perceived as disrespect toward his daughter, which led to a personal reaction.
Flair claimed he obtained Kaiser’s contact information and made a heated threat toward him at the time.
Despite the tension, Flair has since taken a more conciliatory tone, posting a public apology on social media.
“Mr. Ludwig Kaiser – I never implied that you couldn’t work or didn’t have talent… I am sorry that I got upset.”
He emphasised that his reaction came from a protective place as a father.
“I am naturally very protective of my daughters… I apologize for anything I said about you personally.”
Flair also made a point to clarify that his criticism was not related to Kaiser’s abilities as a performer.
“It was not about your professional skill, which I have heard is very good.”
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from World Wrestling Entertainment regarding Flair’s claim that he was banned from WrestleMania 42.
