Madison Rayne confirmed her retirement after Thursday’s airing of Ring of Honor.

The coach and wrestler posted a video with Deonna Purrazzo stating that she was wrapping up her in-ring career after the pair lost to Billie Starkz & Diamante on Thursday’s episode (taped on December 21 at the Hammerstein Ballroom).

Rayne had a twenty-year career and gained national exposure when she joined TNA Wrestling in 2008 and became a member of The Beautiful People with Angelina Love and Velvet Sky, with Lacey Von Erich also becoming a member.

She was a five-time Knockouts Champion and three-time Knockouts tag champion with TNA.

She wrestled for TNA in various stints through 2022 before joining AEW as a coach and wrestler and frequently appearing on the Zero Hour specials before pay-per-views as a panelist.
