Ric Flair is officially no longer under contract with the WWE, according to separate reports from Fightful and Wrestling Inc. released on Monday. Raj Giri is reporting that “The Nature Boy” requested the release, which was granted. The 16-time world champion had made a number of appearances on WWE programming throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, first with Randy Orton and later as part of a pseudo-relationship storyline with Lacey Evans and his daughter, Charlotte Flair. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer openly admitted in interviews that he wasn’t a fan of that program earlier this year. The release comes days after WWE confirmed Bray Wyatt had been let go by the company.
