Ric Flair remains one of the most colorful personalities on the professional wrestling circuit. His comeback and final match, later this year have captivated the attention of the fans for the past few days. This one return will be happening outside the WWE while he may be willing to have another matchup within the biggest pro-wrestling company before hanging up his boots.
On a recent episode of the To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair expressed his interest in getting involved in a throwdown with Vince McMahon at SummerSlam 2022.
“I’m gonna text Vince today and say, ‘I think you and I should have one last encounter at SummerSlam… we deserve it… before I retire the next day. Vince McMahon against Ric Flair… I’ll take the bumps, Vince just punches me, I’ll take a blade. The crowd will go crazy! I’ll fall on my face. How easy is that?”

Ric Flair will be in Nashville around Summerslam
There could be a reason why The Nature Boy has particularly mentioned Summerslam as this dream match. His returning match is presently scheduled to take place at Starrcast on July 31st in the city of Nashville which will also be hosting WWE’s biggest event of the summer. So, the WWE Hall of Famer will be present in the capacity and he intends to get booked on WWE programming.
We’ll have to wait and whether this matchup between the 73-year-old Ric Flair gets that match against 76-year-old Vince McMahon. The WWE Chairman did wrestle Pat McAfee in a short match at Wrestlemania 38 before a brief confrontation with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38 this year. So who knows whether WWE would eventually end up booking The Dirtiest Player In The Game.

As per the confirmations, Ric Flair will team up with the FTR of AEW to take on the Rock n Roll Express and a mystery partner at the Starrcast event. Hulk Hogan was believed to be the mystery opponent but those rumors have been squashed.
In the meantime, Ric Flair continues to be in shape with intense training sessions. In a recent video, he was also spotted taking bumps in preparing for his supposed final match on his own terms. His original last match on WWE programming took place at Wrestlemania 24 in 2008 which was a loss to Shawn Michaels.
