Madison Rayne Announces Her Retirement

Madison Rayne has announced her retirement.

Rayne competed on the January 1st episode of ROH TV, teaming with Deonna Purrazzo in a loss to Billie Starkz & Diamante.

In a backstage segment, Rayne said that it was the end of an era for her. “I know it was coming. This time comes in everyone’s career.” She said she lost a piece of herself when she lost her dad, but she is refinding herself as a coach in AEW and ROH.

Rayne said that teaming with Purrazzo was a perfect way to end her 20-year career.
