RIC FLAIR has confirmed he is nursing an injury ahead of his final ever wrestling match.
The WWE legend, 73, is preparing to take on Jay Lethal and ‘Double J’ Jeff Jarrett on July 31.
Flair announced his opponents in a bizarre hype video that saw him beaten up by the duo in a parking lot.
The sixteen-time world champion is set to come out of retirement for one last match in Nashville.
He'll team up with son-in-law Andrade El Idolo for the epic tag-team grudge match.
And he was quick to reassure fans that he would be fit to perform despite picking up a troublesome foot injury.

Flair told Busted Open podcast: "I’ve got plantar fasciitis, if I’m pronouncing that correctly, on the bottom of my foot.
"Other than that, I am perfect but that damn thing is sore as s***.
"I’m at the doctor right now.
"They are gonna start injecting me with stuff."
Nature Boy's health has been a hot topic in the run-up to his eagerly-anticpated return at the age of 73.
He had a brush with death in 2017 and needed a pacemaker fitted, while Ric also takes blood thinning medication daily.
But Flair is determined that nothing will stop his final match – claiming he'll simply "deaden" his foot if he's in too much pain.
