John Cena is not the only former champion who is ending his multi-decade wrestling career in 2025 as former TNA star Homicide has confirmed his retirement as well.
The former TNA X-Division champion recently spoke to the Counted Out podcast and discussed his recent health struggles. During the interview, the wrestling veteran noted that even his close friends are urging him to call it a career now and explained that his current work is his retirement tour:
“This is my tour if you want to call that. My end days physical, yeah, I’m done because my life is more important. My health is more important. I got a daughter. I need to pick her up and right now I’m not feeling good. So I need to end it and be a full-time producer.”
