Ex-WWE Star Stepping Away From Wrestling At 35
A former WWE talent is stepping away from the world of pro wrestling despite being only 35 years old.
Many wrestling stars never get the luxury of knowing when their final match will be. WWE boss Triple H was forced into permanent in-ring retirement due to a serious heart issue that led to him having a defibrillator implanted in his chest.
There was serious concern for one SmackDown star that their time in the ring could be nearing its end due to injury. And former WWE Champion Big E has never been back in the ring since breaking his neck during a match in 2022.
But one former WWE star is picking their final bout.
Former WWE NXT UK Talent Calling It A Day
Former WWE NXT UK talent Wild Boar will take place in what is being advertised as his last match as he teams with former WWE star Rhino in Boar’s home country of Wales.
This match has a whole new meaning since we announced it last week.

Wild Boar took to social media to comment on the match and said it’s perfect for him to be teaming with a star he idolised and taking on two of his best friends:
To the shock of nobody, I idolised Rhino growing up and having the chance to team with him for the second time is not lost on me at all.
I’ll never take credit for anyone because it’s a personal determination which they have and then some… but Danny Jones and Brendan White aside from being two of the very best around, are two people I had a hand in helping early on and more importantly two of my best friends, so for them to be involved is very special to me.
If this is the last one for me it couldn’t be more perfect.
I appreciate Slammasters Wrestling for putting this on and I am very thankful.
During his time in WWE as part of the NXT UK brand, Wild Boar shared the ring with the likes of Pretty Deadly, Gallus, Tyler Bate, Grizzled Young Veterans, and Imperium.
