Possible reason why Charlotte Flair wasn't a part of Ric Flair's final match
Ric Flair's Last Match pay-per-view was the sight of The Nature Boy's supposed final match of his career.
Many WWE legends were in attendance at the show, including The Undertaker, Mick Foley, and Bret Hart. No current talent from the company appeared on screen despite many reportedly being in the audience. One such star was Ric's daughter Charlotte Flair and the reason might be a WWE policy.
Ric Flair wrestled in the show's main event, teaming up with his son-in-law Andrade El Idolo to take on Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal. During the match, Flair's daughter could be seen interacting with Jarrett's wife Karen. But since Charlotte wasn't involved with the show, it was Ric's other daughter Megan who took part in the spot itself.

Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE seems to be sticking to not allowing talent to appear on shows outside the company. He also revealed that Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes were in attendance. Dolph appeared on the broadcast for a split second, being called by his real name Nick Nemeth.
The Undertaker is under no such contract with WWE, allowing him to appear ringside on the show. He hugged Ric Flair after the match.
