Former WWE Star Cancels Retirement Match

WWE

A former WWE star has announced that they have cancelled their plans for a potential retirement match after consulting doctors.

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley had previously teased that he would have one final match in 2025 for his 60th birthday, and it would be a deathmatch.

Foley had even teased potential opponents for the match, including AEW’s Jon Moxley and former WWE star Matt Cardona.

However, taking to his YouTube channel, Foley announced that he recently suffered a concussion during his training, and that there will no longer be a final match.

He said:

“As some of you know, I had to miss a couple weekends of appearances because of dizziness and lightheadedness.

“After consulting a couple of doctors and also using my own experience with concussions — the symptoms, they seem to point to a concussion that I did not even know I received.

“I hadn’t done too much in the ring, but I had done a little bit. I had noticed that I was lightheaded after one of the workouts, but I thought it would go away.

“So it just seems like the wisest move, and one that’s strongly supported by my family, is to call off that final match.

“If I can get concussed from something I’m not even aware of, then some of the things that I was thinking of doing and hoping of doing in a big match would not be smart.

“So with my family’s urging, and after careful thought, I’ve decided there will be no final match. Thanks a lot for tuning in, and I hope you have a nice day.

Foley’s last match was his cameo appearance in the 2012 Royal Rumble.
