Ric Flair isn't just training, he's training for a return to the ring one last time.

Fightful Select has learned from various sources that there's a lot more to the video of 73 year old Ric Flair training with Jay Lethal that he posted to social media. We're told that Flair is actively planning to wrestle at least one more match this year, which was confirmed as being Starrcast.

Fightful spoke to sources close to Flair that indicated that was the case even before the video hit social media, but noted that there have been several overtures and inquiries as to whether or not Flair is open to working wrestling matches.

As far as the match itself, we're told it's not planned as a singles match right now. Ric Flair's last match came in September 2011 on an episode of IMPACT Wrestling against Sting. After his famous 2008 retirement match at WrestleMania, he'd go on to compete 16 more times, facing the likes of Hulk Hogan, Sting, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Abyss, Matt Hardy and others.
