Ric Flair gives a huge update on his in-ring future months after AEW exit

Ric Flair’s legendary career may not be over. The legendary performer recently gave a big update on his future in the ring.

Ric Flair is one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He has fought for several decades. Flair first tasted retirement in 2008 after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. This was not the end of his career, however, as he returned to the ring a year later and even competed for TNA Wrestling until 2011.

After spending 11 years out of the ring, he returned for one more match in 2022. He teamed with his son-in-law Andrade against Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. The match almost proved fatal for Nature Boy, but he managed to walk away safely. Despite this, he made one appearance for AEW and was in Sting’s corner during his retirement match. The veteran even got physically involved in the game. However, Flair left the company shortly after without competing in a match of his own.

During a recent interview on the Five Star podcast, Flair was asked if he had one more match left. The Nature Boy responded:

“Hell yes, I do.” [H/T Fightful]

Ric Flair explained why Tony Khan wouldn’t let him compete in AEW

Ric Flair joined AEW to be part of Sting’s farewell tour. However, he was almost never involved until the end. There were teases that Flair would get physically involved in the buildup, but he never got in the ring to compete.

This has left fans who were hoping to see Naitch back in the ring a little disappointed. However, Flair has an explanation for why he was never allowed to compete in AEW.

The WWE Hall of Famer said on the same podcast that Tony Khan wouldn’t let him compete once he found out he was taking blood thinners.

“Once Tony (Khan) found out I was on blood thinners, he wouldn’t let me get in the ring,” Flair said.

It will be interesting to see if Ric Flair was serious about wrestling one more match.
