Having departed WWE in August 2021, Ric Flair is once again set to work with Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut on an upcoming documentary.

As announced on WWE's Twitter account, Flair, WWE and producer/director Tom Rinaldi are developing a two-hour documentary showcasing the "never-before-revealed history" of the Nature Boy.

Of course, Flair is currently training for what's billed as his final ever match.

Said 'retirement' contest will take place at Starrcast V on the weekend of 29-31 July, although it's yet to be confirmed who'll be participating with and against Flair. Previously, it was reported that this match would be Flair and FTR going up against Ricky Steamboat and the Rock 'n' Roll Express. Steamboat has since gone public to state how he declined the chance to compete in such a contest, and that in itself started up rumours that it could instead be Hulk Hogan teaming with Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson.

In terms of WWE, Ric Flair had his retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24 back in 2008. Despite that, Naitch was back in the ring a year later as part of Hogan's Hulkamania tour, and he'd also step back between the ropes for TNA. As it stands, Flair's most recent match came in September 2011, where he lost against long-time rival Sting on an episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
