WWE has parted ways with legendary superstar Ric Flair.

While Flair wasn't active as an in-ring superstar, he was still active when in appearances and storylines. He was a part of a major story that involved his daughter Charlotte Flair, and Lacey Evans.

Fightful Select revealed that the Nature Boy wasn't happy about a few recent creative decisions the company had taken in regards to him, and that these creative issues were fairly recent.

''According to Fightful Select, Ric Flair was frustrated by some of the booking decisions and voiced the same to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon while asking for his release. The report adds that these booking decisions in question were fairly recent.''

There is speculation that Ric Flair is AEW-bound, where he could take up a managerial role.
