Some fans are still holding out hope to see Ric Flair step back into the ring for one more match despite promising that he wrestled his last bout this past July when he teamed with Andrade El Idolo to beat Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal.
The 16-time world champion previously revealed that he’d been invited to be part of the 30th Anniversary of Monday Night Raw (“Raw is XXX”) on January 23 from Philadelphia, PA as well as the Royal Rumble five days later in San Antonio, TX.
Flair has gone on record noting that he wishes he didn’t say that his most recent match would be the last as he enjoyed the experience. There has been some speculation that Flair could come back to wrestle another match, and some even think it may happen in the Men’s Royal Rumble match.
The End
Flair’s son-in-law, Conrad Thompson, has ruled out Flair wrestling again.
\"I don\'t mean to be disrespectful, but that\'s clickbait,\" Thompson told Wrestling Inc. \"Anybody who actually listens to the podcast knows that he\'s said that tongue-in-cheek, laughing. Even when he talked about the Rumble, he\'s like \'Somebody reported that I\'m going to be at the Rumble. I\'m not. I\'m going to be at the 30th Anniversary \'Raw.\' I am going to be in San Antonio, but I\'m doing a signing for Fitterman. But I\'ll bring my gear, I\'ll bring my robe. Hell yeah, I\'ll be number 30.\' It\'s a joke. It\'s not serious. He\'s not really going to be in the Rumble, but I know that gets people talking and it gets people buzzing. But the reality is, Ric\'s not going to wrestle again.\"
‘Woooooo! Becoming Ric Flair’, a new documentary about the life and career of Flair, will air on Peacock on December 26.
