Ric Flair may have insisted his in-ring career was over, but comments made during a virtual autograph signing on February 5, 2026 suggest the door isn’t completely closed.
While taking part in a live signing with K & S WrestleFest, Flair was casually interacting with fans and organizers when the conversation unexpectedly shifted toward the idea of him wrestling again. What followed wasn’t an announcement—but it was enough to get people talking.
As Flair continued signing memorabilia, one of the hosts relayed a question that had been popping up repeatedly in the live chat about whether fans could see him wrestle one more time. Flair immediately reacted with surprise before revealing a very specific possibility.
“Somebody wants me to wrestle Ricky Morton now.”
The comment drew an instant reaction from those on the stream, with one of the interviewers joking that the two legends could still pull off something special. Flair didn’t laugh it off or shut it down. Instead, he leaned into the idea.
“Easily. Thinking about it.”
When the moment was framed as potential “breaking news,” Flair added a reality check, making it clear nothing was locked in—but also making it clear it wasn’t a joke.
“Yeah. Not that far from—way off on financial terms, of course.”
Flair didn’t go deeper into logistics, but he did explain why the idea even appeals to him at this stage. In a rare moment of honesty during the signing, he spoke about motivation and what still pushes him day to day.
“Sometimes I need something to motivate me, man. Just to go to the gym every day for nothing is…”
The sentence trailed off, but the meaning was clear. For Flair, the possibility of another match—especially against a fellow legend like Ricky Morton—could be the kind of goal that keeps him moving forward.
Ric Flair has said “last match” before. Whether this turns into anything more or stays as talk depends on motivation, money, and reality—but the fact he’s even entertaining it will keep fans watching closely.
