SD! Tonight, Ric Flair/ROH Update, Weekend Schedule, More

According to a report by “The Slammer” of The New York Daily News, Ric Flair claims he left ROH because it wasn’t right for him to appear on both TV shows…“I announced I would be leaving them (ROH) last week at the Philadelphia show because it would be on HDNet (cable TV) and I felt it wasn’t right for me to be appearing (on TV) for the WWE and ROH while singing the praises of both. I will be at their event at the Manhattan Center next Saturday as a ‘special’ referee, not as a wrestler.” But did WWE pressure him to quit ROH? “The decision was mine alone. Nothing against ROH, but I decided you can’t serve two masters, and my loyalty lies with the WWE. I feel very comfortable being there.” What’s his current deal with the WWE and will he wrestle again? “I only have a verbal agreement with them to make appearances…. I’m still retired. Well, let me say that under very special conditions I would consider wrestling again.”

The following matches are scheduled for tonight’s edition of WWE Smackdown:

– John Morrison vs. Shelton Benjamin
– Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth
– CM Punk vs. Umaga
– Layla El, Michelle McCool and Alicia Fox vs. Melina, Gail Kim and Eve Torres
– Dolph Ziggler vs. The Great Khali
