Oh, that kinda sucks. I mean, they can still have that storyline go largely unchanged, but it would for sure be some bad optics.
As for Flair, I think that even before whatever scandal came to light, they shouldn't bring him in. He looks in super rough shape, man. Like, Tully looks good for someone in his late 60s, but Ric looks BAD for someone in his early 70s. I just don't see any benefit besides a cameo, let alonge a managerial role.
But all this is moot with what's happened anyway.
