WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is rumored to be "stylin' and profiln" onto WWE television as soon as next week on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown.
CM Punk Appearing On TV This Month
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Flair, who resides in Charlotte, N.C., is expected to return to the WWE on next week's RAW live from the Richmond Coliseum in Virginia and then the SmackDown tapings next Tuesday in Fayetteville, N.C.
According to the report, Flair was slated to work this weekend's live events in the Northeast but the WWE decided to pull him from the events so that he can make an appearance on live television at next week's Southeastern shows.
Update On Steve "Sting" Borden's Cryptic Tweets
It has been reported for a few months that Flair, whose daughter wrestles as Charlotte in WWE NXT, would be returning sometime this summer and it appears Monday night will be his first appearance.
There has been speculation that he will be paired up with The Miz to continue the storyline they've had in the past, but that is uncertain since Miz is heel and already returned to television without Flair two weeks ago.
The Flair report is coupled with speculation that his old WCW rival Steve "Sting" Borden was debuting next week on RAW after he sent out cryptic tweets with Monday July 14 being hinted at, but that could very well prove to just be Sting hyping his inclusion in the WWE 2K15 video game.
If Sting does debut in WWE and make a comeback to pro wrestling, it wouldn't be the first episode of RAW to feature multiple surprising returns this summer as The Miz, Chris Jericho and AJ Lee all returned on the June 30 edition of the WWE's flagship program.
Flair is rumored to appear in a managerial role of some sort going forward and has reportedly requested to work with Dolph Ziggler but the idea was shot down by the WWE since the company had nothing planned for Ziggler long-term.
It remains to be seen what Flair's role will be and who he will align himself with, but "The Nature Boy" should be returning on Monday Night RAW next week in Virginia.
