Ric Flair Confirmed For WWE's 2023 Royal Rumble?!

Surely Triple H isn't going to stick Ric Flair in WWE's next Royal Rumble?

Yes, you're reading that headline correctly.

Ric Flair has revealed, via his 'To Be The Man' podcast, that he's personally been invited to attend the 2023 Royal Rumble. That show goes down on 28 January in San Antonio's Alamodome, and there's a small chance the 'Nature Boy' could enter WWE's 30-man match in Texas.

Surely not, eh? Stranger things have happened, and Ric is great pals with new WWE boss Triple H. Plus, Flair has been talking about wrestling again following his "Last Match" at Starrcast this past July. Definitely don't rule it out - after all, did anyone think Vince McMahon would work a bout at WrestleMania 38 (then retire), or that Steve Austin would wrestle on the same weekender?!

Ric noted that WWE top brass didn't tell him to keep tight-lipped about the Rumble invite. Apparently, he'll also be in attendance for the promotion's 30th anniversary celebrations for Raw early next year too. The Hall Of Famer described that as "a f*cking big deal".

Some wrestling fans will be losing their minds (and not in a good way) at the thought of Ric entering the Rumble.
