Ric Flair will go down as one of the most popular and entertaining wrestlers of all time. After wrestling for over four decades, ‘The Nature Boy’ seemingly retired after his ‘final match’ in July this year. But since then, the 73-year-old has teased a comeback a few times already. While the fans have mixed opinions over that, recently Flair bizarrely teased a potential match against former WWE RAW Women’s Champion.

In a recent interview, Flair again teased he may be looking to get back in the ring and picked Sasha Banks as his opponent! Now whether ‘The Golden Stallion’ was joking or being serious is not clear, but the fans let him know what they thought of it.

Fans react to Ric Flair for picking Sasha Banks as an opponent

Ric Flair teamed up with Andrade El Idolo to defeat Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett at an event billed as ‘Ric Flair’ Last Match’. But it seems even after another fitting send-off, the 16-time World Champion is not done. After his legendary in-ring rival Rick “The Dragon” Steamboat announced his return to pro wrestling, Flair expressed a desire to make yet another comeback.

In fact, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was already back in wrestling training a few months after his ‘retirement match’. Hence, the possibility of another Flair match remains. However, fans weren’t too pleased with his latest comments about who could be his next opponent.
