Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Flair revealed that he recently visited Vince McMahon in Tampa, Florida, where the former Chairman and CEO told Flair that he was being re-added to the intro video.
“I went and saw Vince yesterday to personally thank him. Everything Vince McMahon has ever said to me my entire life has come true, he said, ‘I’m gonna put you back on,’ and he did.”

The Most Hurtful Moment In My ENTIRE Career Was Losing My Spot. Thank You So Much For Giving Me Back My Dignity & My Life! @WWE @VinceMcMahon #WWERaw
