Well, it looks like Ric Flair is done with WWE for the foreseeable future. According to Fightful, the WWE Hall of Famer was quietly released by the company after he asked for his release and was granted it.
They add that the Nature Boy started to grow frustrated with creative decisions that were being made and wasn't happy with how his character was booked on RAW. The site explains that Flair even contacted WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to air his grievances and that ended with him asking to be let out of his current deal.
Interestingly, Flair re-signed with WWE just last year, but definitely hasn't been used in the most effective way since then.
Both he and daughter Charlotte Flair have spoken negatively about the storyline that saw him turn on his daughter after he seemingly became romantically involved with Lacey Evans. The angle was building to a match at WrestleMania with Evans and Flair, but was abandoned when the former fell pregnant (not with Ric's child, obviously).
Ric was hanging out with AEW announcer Jim Ross in Jacksonville, FL, and North Carolina, NC last week, so speculation is already running rampant that we could see him in AEW.
We'll keep you updated. Woo!
