Ric Flair Confirms In-Ring Return

Following reports over the weekend that Ric Flair was training for an in-ring return, the 73-year-old has confirmed he is indeed making a comeback for one final match. 

In an announcement today, it was revealed Flair will return to the ring on July 31 at an independent wrestling event from the Nashville Fairgrounds. Billed as from Jim Crockett Promotions, the event 'Ric Flair's Last Match' will be produced by Thuzio, a Triller company, and air on FITE. 

"I'm going to walk that aisle, one last time to prove once and for all, that to be the Man, you've got to beat the Man," Flair said.

Flair's opponent will be revealed at a later date. 

July 31 will be Flair's first match in 11 years. He last performed inside the squared circle on a September 2011 show from TNA Wrestling against Sting. Flair has gotten physical inside the squared circle since then, most recently at AAA TripleMania in August of 2021 when he accompanied Andrade El Idolo to the ring for his match against Kenny Omega.
