Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling. Flair’s accomplishments are truly second to none and his businessman sense is also quite sharp. That’s why it seems he isn’t interested in making a WWE return anytime soon.

The Nature Boy is always stylin’ and profilin’, as he makes sure to be the centre of attention no matter what. He is also a solid businessman as Flair makes sure to get into markets that will give him the most profit.

Ric Flair even has his own brand of energy drinks, something which has seen more success than even Logan Paul’s line of drinks. While speaking with Chris Van Vliet, The Nature Boy revealed that he doubts he will return to WWE due to the company’s enforceable contract, which would prevent him from carrying on his other ventures such as his energy drink unless he paid WWE 50% of the sales.

“It’s fine. I don’t work for them. I mean, I’m always gonna be indebted and be thankful for the relationship over the years, but when you work with them, you’re pretty much locked up to, you know, to anything, and they have a really tough, enforceable contract, so I wouldn’t be able to do the marijuana.

I certainly wouldn’t be able to have the energy drink unless I gave them 50% of it or something like that.’

I mean, you know, and in all fairness, I don’t like that, but I can understand. They’re gonna give you the TV time and help give you the opportunity for yourself to become a star, if you have that star quality, then they deserve to get a part of the money. I understand it. I don’t like it, but if it’s only fair and I’ve seen a lot worse situations for people.

Ric Flair is also considering a return to professional wrestling sometime in the future. Regardless, fans have accepted that he will not be returning to WWE anytime soon and that’s unlikely to change.
