WWE Raw: All Signs Point to Ric Flair Returning to WWE to Manage Dolph Ziggler

Earlier this month, Justin LaBar of WrestleZone and B/R reported that "there has been some consideration in creative on how to use Ric Flair if he is to sign some kind of contract with WWE" and that "the popular discussion has been for Ric Flair to be used as a manager for Dolph Ziggler."

In response to the report, I wrote an article arguing that Flair could make Ziggler a top star and take him to the next level. Furthermore, the easiest way for Ziggler to become great is by being associated with greatness (Flair).

Ultimately, despite the ongoing WWE vs. TNA lawsuit, all signs point to Flair returning to WWE to manage Ziggler.

For one thing, TNA has reportedly terminated Flair's contract. Unless the legal consequences of Flair's contract termination prohibit Flair from signing with WWE, he should be free to return to WWE.

But didn't WWE's attorneys claim that WWE has no intention of hiring Flair?

Sure, but various reports, such as one by WrestlingInc., have reported that 

"

Despite what WWE says in the lawsuit from TNA, most people within WWE believe that Ric Flair will return to the company as soon as he is legally able to and that WWE officials would love to have him back at the 1,000th RAW in July.

"

Ultimately, it's probably safe to assume that Flair will eventually return to WWE.

It's also probably safe to assume that if and when Flair returns, he will manage Ziggler. Is it a coincidence that Ziggler has recently adopted Flair's iconic strut? 

The question is how to set the two men up.   

Last night at Raw, interim General Manager Mick Foley stated that former General Managers would be running Raw each week until the WWE Board of Directors finds a permanent GM.

Considering Flair is a former General Manager of Raw, perhaps he should fill in one night as the interim Raw General Manager.

During the show that Flair runs, perhaps Flair could run into Ziggler and there you have the start of a business relationship between the two. And the start of Ziggler's rise to greatness.

What about Vickie Guerrero?

What about her? After last night's Raw, it looks like Vickie is now Ziggler's lover, not his manager. How else can you explain Ziggler's match with Jack Swagger for Vickie's "admiration, respect and affection"? Or Vickie's kiss to Ziggler?   

What do you think? Will Flair return to WWE? Will he manage Ziggler? Would Flair make Ziggler a top star?
