More WWE News: Ric Flair Could Return To WWE Next Year, Update On The Marine 3 Casting

April 6, 2012 | Posted by Joseph Lee

-There is talk in both WWE and TNA that Ric Flair will be back with the WWE some time next year. Flair’s current TNA contract expires at the end of the year and WWE wants to use Flair’s star power to help push the WWE Network when it launches. Flair is popular with fans and WWE owns most of the footage from his career.

-Flair had an interview with a Charlotte radio station earlier this week and claimed his last wrestling match was the retirement match against Shawn Michaels. He spoke highly of Vince McMahon and The Rock and said he had a great time hanging out with the WWE crew during Wrestlemania weekend.

-After Randy Orton was removed from The Marine 3, WWE is considering CM Punk, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, JTG and Kofi Kingston for the role. Because the movie is being promoted with 20th Century Fox, WWE wanted a big named star in the movie. The sequel begins filming in June.
