As reported earlier Ric Flair has been released from his WWE contract.

In an update from Fightful Select, Flair reportedly was unhappy with the creative direction of WWE and voiced his concerns to Vince McMahon before asking for his release from the company.

"Flair grew frustrated with certain booking decisions on the show, and contacted Vince McMahon directly about it to voice his issues and ask for his release."

Flair's last big storyline was a romantic one with Lacey Evans against his daughter Charlotte Flair. The storyline was nixed after Evans became pregnant in real life. Flair publicly voiced his displeasure with the storyline earlier this year.
