Ric Flair’s Last Match Betting Odds Include ‘First To Bleed,’ Robe Color

Ric Flair’s last match has been confirmed for July 31, 2022 during Starrcast V (at 6:05 pm local time, of course) in Nashville, Tenn. Flair will team up with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to take on the team of Jay Lethal and WWE Vice President of Live Events Jeff Jarrett.

The buildup to the FITE

TV pay-per-view featured a bloody parking lot brawl, between Jarrett and Flair, as Flair continues to double down on his polarizing decision to wrestle one final match at 73 years of age.

Originally scheduled for the Nashville Fairgrounds, the event was promptly moved to a bigger venue in the Municipal Auditorium, which has an overall capacity of 9,700.

Betonline has released odds and prop bets for the controversial match, including “first to bleed,” “Ric Flair move to be performed first” and more. Flair and Andrade are heavy favorites to prevail at -2000 odds, while the odds favor a guitar to be broken in the match (+150). Despite Flair bleeding before lacing up a pair of boots for his final match, Jeff Jarrett opened as the favorite to draw blood first, at +125 odds. This indicates that a successful $100 bet would with win $125. Flair is a close second at +175.

Ric Flair Bleeds in Parking Lot Ahead of Last Match

Flair’s patented knife-edge chop, which elicits “woo’s” from crowds across every promotion, is heavily favored to be Flair’s first move performed. Given Flair’s many physical limitations and health ailments, the knife-edge chop figures to be his bread and butter while surviving this match. Whether or not it will be his first move performed, however, is subject to wager.

Odds are also listed for the color of Flair’s retirement robe, with gold leading the pack at +150 odds. This is a peculiar wager as Flair already appeared to reveal the robe for his final match during a press conference posted to his official YouTube channel on July 2, 2022. Designed by Olivia Walker in 1976, Flair revealed a white robe with purple trim and designs throughout. For what it’s worth, white is listed at a sizable +600 odds. On July 15, Flair tweeted a video of him lacing up a pair of purple boots.

Despite being on death’s door in 2017, pacemaker and all, Flair has been training regularly for his upcoming final match. The 16-time world heavyweight champion and WWE Hall of Famer has released several clips working with Jay Lethal. Despite Lethal and Andrade’s involvement with AEW, WWE has condoned the use of Jeff Jarrett—a current WWE executive who will be appearing as a special guest referee at WWE SummerSlam the night prior. It’s also worth noting that Jarrett is not under a talent contract with WWE, allowing him to compete in what will hopefully be Ric Flair’s final match.

Given the countless risks involved with Flair wrestling a match well into his 70s, many fans and media are concerned about Flair’s ability to get through this match unscathed, even while protected/hidden in a tag team stipulation. It doesn’t help that Flair is currently dealing with the painful foot injury of plantar fasciitis.

Flair’s last match will headline a star-studded pay-per-view featuring talent from WWE, AEW, ROH, MLW, NJPW and IMPACT Wrestling.
