According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE is reportedly in talks with Ric Flair regarding a new deal that would see WWE use Flair for Public Relations purposes.
WWE had previously approached Flair about taking on a similar role back in 2008, but Flair opted to leave the company and go out on his own. The belief is that if Flair does come to terms with WWE on a new deal, the company would not want him involved in outside projects, like the lottery, for example.
