Welp, he's always said he wanted to die in the ring.

ESPN said:
Ric Flair, one of the most well-known and revered professional wrestlers in history, will perform in one last match July 31, sources told ESPN on Monday. Flair, 73, will step into the ring at the Nashville Fairgrounds on an independent card that will stream live on FITE TV.

Flair, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer and 16-time world champion, has not wrestled in a match since Sept. 12, 2011, a bout for Impact Wrestling against longtime rival Sting. His last WWE match was in 2008 at WrestleMania XXIV against Shawn Michaels. Flair's opponent for July 31 remains unclear. It's also unknown whether it will be a singles or tag team match.

"I'm going to walk that aisle one last time to prove once and for all that to be the Man, you've got to beat the Man," Flair said in a statement to ESPN.

Flair's final match will take place the day after WWE SummerSlam, which also is in Nashville. The event will take place immediately after the Starrcast V wrestling convention and expo at the Nashville Fairgrounds, which has hosted several historic pro-wrestling moments over the years.

Looks like he had another separation this year. I wonder if that has something to do with this need to make some $$$.

Weird reporting by espn..."he said in a statement to ESPN".

No he posted that sentence on his social media page, not directly to ESPN. Although not technically wrong it makes it sound like they got the scoop. Lol

I don't regularly watch WWE but the last time I remember seeing Flair, he was part of a storyline where he might have been the father of another WWE superstars baby. It was so cringe I couldn't believe it was an actual thing lol

dirt sheets were saying it's a 6-man tag, Flair & FTR vs Rock & Roll Express & somebody

Terry Funk was doing 6-man tags in his 70s, it's an easy payday

The woman he was separated from was not his actual wife and he said that she still is serving as the manager of his affairs, so I doubt it. Ric Flair never needed a separation or divorce to burn his money, they just sped up the process.
