However, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair stepped in the line to prove this catchphrase right. ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair will take a walk inside the wrestling ring one last time. At 73, Ric Flair is set to come out of his retirement for his final match.

 ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair doing the unthinkable!

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was recently seen sharing a wrestling ring with AEW star Jay Lethal. ‘The Nature Boy’ shared the squared circle with Jay Lethal and took bumps as a part of training.

After posting such videos with the AEW star, wrestling fans predicted that Flair is getting back in shape to make a potential return to the squared circle.

Finally, after a few rumors on the internet, Ric Flair confirmed that he would wrestle for the one last time. Indeed, the courage of ‘The Nature Boy’ to step inside the ring and wrestle at 73 is beyond imagination.

He said, “I’m Going To Walk That Aisle, Style And Profile, One Last Time! July 31st! Nashville, Tennessee! Jim Crockett Promotions! I Will Prove Once Again, That To Be The Man, You’ve Got To Beat The Man!”
