Update on Ric Flair’s WWE Status and Future

Ric Flair will be appearing on the kickoff panel at Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, and his presence on WWE television as of late has been no coincidence according to PWInsider.com.

The website is reporting that since Flair was well-behaved at “Old School Raw” earlier this month, the company is willing to work with the 16-time world champion on a case-by-case basis. Many will recall that Flair came under hot water over the summer after appearing on the SummerSlam 2K Legend’s Panel and causing a scene.

The report says that Triple H personally called Flair at one point and told that if he did not address his personal issues, he would never work with the company again. We noted recently that Flair had an outstanding arrest warrant in North Carolina.

As of now, it appears Flair will continue to work with WWE unless he gets out of hand once more.
