The Nature Boy might be making his way back to WWE for one of the biggest events of the year.
According to PWInsider.com, Ric Flair is one of the names being discussed for a potential cameo at the 2025 Royal Rumble, set to take place on February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. If plans go through, this would mark a major moment for Flair, who hasnt appeared in WWE in years.
Flair, who won the WWF Championship in the iconic 1992 Royal Rumble match, is one of the most celebrated names in professional wrestling history. His potential return to WWE comes after a stint in AEW, where he was featured during Stings retirement run. However, Flair hasnt been seen in AEW since March, and his planned appearance at AEW Collision in Charlotte, NC, was scrapped last minute. Tony Khan confirmed that Flairs AEW appearances were tied to his Wooooo Energy sponsorship deal, which mirrored Randy Savages similar arrangement with WCW in the 1990s.
In recent months, WWE has made a habit of bringing legends back for major events, whether its surprise appearances in the ring or simply honoring them backstage. Flairs name stands out as a potential draw for the Royal Rumble, given his unmatched legacy and connection to the events history. While its unlikely Flair would wrestle, a cameo from The Nature Boy could still be a huge moment for fans.
The Royal Rumble has always been a celebration of wrestlings past and present, and bringing Ric Flair back would be a fitting tribute to his storied career. WWEs use of legends at events like Bad Blood in Atlanta and Saturday Nights Main Event shows they know how to make nostalgia work, and Flair could be the centerpiece of that approach for 2025.
