Flair took to Twitter after the show and almost congratulated Shirai.

Flair wrote, "A ladder match where the prize is a figure-8. Congratulations?"

There's no word yet on when Shirai vs. Flair will take place, but we will keep you updated. Flair just won the title from Rhea Ripley during Night Two of WrestleMania 36 on Sunday.
