Booker T Thinks Ric Flair Is Looking For An In-Ring Return Following WWE Release

Booker T believes Ric Flair could be considering one last run as an in-ring superstar following his release from WWE.

Flair's departure from WWE was confirmed last week by both the 16-time World Champion and the promotion amid rumours over disagreements about creative decisions.

The 72-year-old has not wrestled since competing in TNA in 2011 and, since his return to WWE in 2012, worked primarily in an ambassador role with occasional slots on television.

However, Booker T feels The Nature Boy could be looking to get back between the ropes and have a last spell as a wrestler.

Speaking on his The Hall of Fame podcast, he said: "Ric Flair is not the managerial type of guy. It's just not his role. As well as, Ric Flair is not one of your guys that wants to be in the office, coming to work every day, wearing a suit and going into the office. That's not Ric Flair.

"Ric Flair's a party guy. That's just his nature. You saw him on Triller, he's all about having some fun. Now my thing is this, I talk to Ric Flair on a regular - usually on a regular occasion, I don't know how often I'm going to see him now, but Ric Flair told me, he said, 'Book, I'm never going to retire.'

"He said, 'If I could be in that ring right now, that's where I'd be.' So I think Ric Flair may be looking at one last run."
