WATCH: Fans of the old era of WWE will love the closing segment on Monday Night raw last night

Just like the good old days.

On the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE star Roman Reigns returned to the ring and confirmed to fans that the leukaemia that had kept him out of the ring since October was in remission.

And although this is definitely the best news to come from the episode, we imagine that an awful lot of people will have been pleased with the closing segment on Raw as well.

A segment on the episode saw the entire locker room in the WWE come out to wish Ric Flair a happy birthday.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon unveiled a custom made belt to honour Flair, and then invited him to come to the ring to receive it.

But he never made it to the ring, because the Guardians of the Galaxy star and former WWE superstar Batista went to his dressing room and attacked him.

He then looked down the camera and said “Hunter (Triple H’s real name), do I have your attention now?”

Great stuff. Take a look here:

This would appear to be setting up a match between HHH and Batista at Wrestlemania, which we’re sure would delight fans who followed the WWE back in the late 90s and the early noughties.
