During last night’s Hard To Kill pre-show, Madison Rayne confirmed her retirement from IMPACT Wrestling.
Rayne said that is it time for “Madison Rayne the wrestler to go home and be a mom and be a wife.”
Some within the Wrestling Industry reacted on social media regarding Rayne’s announcement, which you can check out below.
First time we met at work, she told me it was ok to smile. That was over 6 years ago. I’ve watched her grow & thrive as a mom, host, producer, wife, student & now whatever she wants to do next.
She’s taught me to appreciate everything we have. My favorite person #ThankYouWIFE pic.twitter.com/U2wSHwGIoX

Thank you @MadisonRayne I met you when you were a baby and I knew you were something special. I’m so proud of how far you have come in and out of the ring. Enjoy this time. Love your wrestling mama
