WWE SmackDown! Results (10/30/09) Escobar with an Irish whip but he misses a splash into the corner and Hardy with a bulldog. Hardy goes up for a moonsault but Escobar stops him...
-- WWE officials pulled Ric Flair from tonight’s ROH Television taping in Philadelphia. Flair was in attendance and ready to go on air, when he was notified that he was being pulled by WWE officials. The decision to remove him was a last minute decision.
Flair came out while the dark matches were taking place to announce that he was stepping down as the ROH ambassador to return to WWE.
When Flair decided to return to WWE, the general belief within the company was that he would still be able to fulfill his obligations outside the company. This appears to have been changed and he will no longer be participating in ROH’s future programming.
