10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Forced to Retire – Braun Strowman & Ronda Rousey Included
Wrestling is a physically demanding profession, and many WWE superstars are forced to retire due to injuries, health concerns, or behind-the-scenes issues. Here are 10 WWE wrestlers who didn’t leave the ring by choice:
1. Braun Strowman
The “Monster Among Men” was sidelined in 2023 due to a severe neck injury that required spinal fusion surgery. While WWE hasn’t officially confirmed his retirement, his future in the ring remains uncertain, and many believe his in-ring career may be over.
2. Ronda Rousey
Although Rousey hasn’t announced a formal retirement, her departure from WWE in 2023 came after a series of injuries and a desire to focus on family. Rousey later revealed she was wrestling through significant pain, hinting that she’s unlikely to return.
3. Edge
Originally retired in 2011 due to spinal stenosis, Edge shocked fans with a return in 2020. However, in 2023, he once again stepped away from WWE, citing age and wear-and-tear.
4. Paige (Saraya)
Forced to retire in 2018 due to a serious neck injury, Paige moved into non-wrestling roles. She later resumed wrestling in AEW but her WWE in-ring days are over.
5. Daniel Bryan
Retired in 2016 due to concussion issues, Bryan later returned after being cleared. However, his health scare highlights how close he came to permanent retirement.
6. Tyson Kidd
A freak neck injury in 2015 ended his career. Doctors said he was lucky to survive, let alone walk again.
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Severe neck injuries and knee issues forced his early retirement in 2003.
8. Edge (first retirement)
His 2011 retirement was due to life-threatening neck issues.
9. Kurt Angle
Persistent injuries and surgeries forced his 2019 retirement.
