Nope. Wrestling Legend Confirms His In-Ring Career Is Over
He’s done. Retirement is a tricky subject for wrestlers as it can be hard to hang up their boots for the final time. While more mainstream athletes have to complete one more season, wrestlers are able to go out and have one more match at almost anytime they want. That makes officially retiring harder than it seems, but one legend seems pretty sure he is out.

During a recent appearance on the Culture State podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels was asked if he would be coming out of retirement for one more match. Michaels flat out said that he was done, saying “I’ve had that final match” and that he was happy with his career and wanted to see the next generation get their chance. Michaels, 57 years old, last wrestled at Crown Jewel 2018, ending an eight year retirement. He now runs the NXT developmental program for WWE.
Michaels had an amazing career. Check out the full interview, plus some of his better moments:

Opinion: Given how Michaels’ most recent return from retirement went, I can’t say I blame him for wanting to be done. At the end of the day, Michaels is approaching sixty years old and it would be a lot to see him come out of retirement again. If he is happy staying behind the scenes and making the occasional appearance, it is probably better for him to stay with the coaching role. The good thing is that Michaels seems to understand that, as so many wrestlers cannot make that work.
