Ric Flair at 6:05 PM shared a video on his official YouTube channel named ‘Last Match’ part 3. In the video, we saw wrestling legends talking about Flair’s last match on 31st July 2022. Moreover, Naitch also revealed his opponent for his last match in a classic way.

The Nature Boy in his last match will partner with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to take on the team of Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. They confirmed the match by the end of the video after Jarrett and Lethal left Flair busted open in the parking lot after giving the legend a beat down.

We saw Lethal train with Flair on multiple occasions to prepare Naitch for his final match. However, tensions started rising between the two, and Flair started to train with someone else. Fans suspected the AEW wrestler to be the opponent for Flair, but nobody expected Jeff Jarrett to join him.

WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett will arguably have a busy weekend on 30th and 31st July. Last week WWE announced Jarrett will be the special guest referee at SummerSlam in the match between The Usos vs The Street Profits on 30th July. Furthermore, Double J will step into the ring with Lethal to face Flair and El Idolo the next night.
