Real Reason WWE’s Jeff Jarrett Can Work With AEW Talent In Ric Flair’s Last Match

WWE

Here’s why WWE’s Jeff Jarrett can work with AEW talent in Ric Flair’s Last Match.

It has now been confirmed that Flair will team with Andrade El Idolo to face off against Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett.

Andrade and Lethal are notably AEW stars. Jarrett notably became the WWE ‘Senior Vice President of Live Events’ in late May.

Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Jarrett can wrestle the bout because he doesn’t have a talent contract with WWE.

Noting that everything has been worked out, Meltzer said:

“Obviously Tony Khan okayed his guys working with a WWE guy. And with Jeff, the thing with Jeff is Jeff doesn’t have a talent contract, so legally even though he’s actually a vice president of the company (WWE), he can wrestle this match.

“I know a lot of people think that because Conrad (Thompson) in the past had booked WWE guys, including Ric, to do major things at his conventions and then WWE pulled them, that is going to happen here. But it’s not going to happen. This has all been worked out.”
