In late 2012, it was reported that Flair had started training with All Japan Pro Wrestling.

During February, Flair worked All Japan's "Excite Series" tour, wrestling undercard tag team matches. On March 15, Flair wrestled his first singles match in All Japan, submitting Yasufumi Nakanoue with the figure-four leglock. Flair returned to the United States following All Japan's March 17 event, which was 12 days before his death.
