We often find it hard to say goodbye to our favorite wrestlers. Regardless of the negative feeling, all athletes are bound to retire someday. Former WWE star Jaxson Ryker‘s fans might suffer a similar fate soon. The wrestler is best known for his time in Impact Wrestling. During his time in the company, Ryker pinned Sting, who was the World Heavyweight Champion for Impact at the time.

After his long journey in the wrestling world, it appears that Ryker is considering retirement. The former WWE star was released from the company in 2021. However, he hasn’t yet left the ring, which he plans to do later in 2023. Ryker revealed it all in a recent podcast.

Former WWE star talks retirement

Chad Lail recently appeared on ‘Wrestling for the Faith’. During his feature episode, the former WWE star talked about several topics, including the topic of his retirement. Several of his fans must have been shocked hearing this, but the wrestler sounded utterly serious. Ryker began by telling the host that he ‘thinks’ it’s time for him to retire. The wrestler said, “I think it’s time to step away just because of injuries. It’s time to pursue a different career.”

Ryker further added about his last wrestling match by saying, “August 27th—which is funny, it’s two days after my 23-year anniversary of my wrestling career starting—will be my last show in Salisbury, North Carolina.” Perhaps he dropped the date and venue for his fans to catch him inside the ring one last time.

However, he also mentioned that this won’t be a complete cutoff from the wrestling world. Ryker will keep on returning for guest referee appearances and autographs. And it looks like another WWE star is planning to get out of the ring permanently this year.
