Ric Flair Backstage At RAW - Return In The Works

According to sources, Ric Flair is expected at Raw tonight to start a short-term program with the company. Flair has been in communications with the company about a return, as he wants to get back into wrestling.

The reason Flair is being brought in is because WWE wants to keep HHH off of TV a while longer, and with ratings down, Flair is a historical draw and the company believes that he can boost ratings.

There was also talk at Judgment Day last night that Flair would be back in the ring at either the Extreme Rules PPV or 'The Bash' PPV.

Flair worked an indie on Friday night in Lincolnton, NC and was on Saturday night at the NASCAR All-Star race as a celebrity guest of Coca Cola. The crowd and the announcers were doing the "Whooo" when they showed him doing it.
