Taryn Terrell is retiring from the world of professional wrestling.
On Wednesday, Terrell took to her Instagram account to announce that she is retiring from the business after returning last year for the NWA. She wrote,
“In my career, I often have not been able to be the first to “break my own news”. At every company, it makes it to the public before I was truly ready to say anything. Anyhow, I have decided that it is time to officially hang up my boots…forever. It’s so bittersweet. NWA gave me a wonderful opportunity to manage. The problem is, I can’t be beside that ring and find happiness. I love the ring. Being inside those ropes and connecting with the humans in the crowd fuels me. There’s no place like it. Therefore, I asked for more. They gave me more and gave me really fun matches share I had complete, creative freedom. I was able to tell stories the way I saw them. I am grateful to Billy for allowing me a place to create and relive the moments inside that ring.
I knew I was ready to be done but I also knew I wanted to feel the rush of having a match again! Billy gave me that. But the truth is, it’s fine to say goodbye. I love entertaining and fully intend to continue that in the way of stunts
Thank you to Billy for the fun, last year and half. I wish you and NWA the very best. Thank you to Pat Kenny, the one and only Simon Diamond, who constantly reminded me to believe in myself.
To all the girls I’ve grown close to and the rubber duck clan, I freaking love y’all and I will be cheering you on as y’all continue to kick ass!”
The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) took to Twitter to wish her the best. They wrote,
“@IAmTarynTerrell — We’ve all loved watching you shine both inside the NWA ring and alongside it. You will be missed!! Wishing you nothing but the best on the path ahead…”

According to Deadline, AEW star MJF has joined the cast of A24’s “The Iron Claw.”
It has been reported by PWInsider, that MJF is playing the role of Lance Von Erich in the film.
The movie is about the legendary and WWE Hall of Fame Von Erich wrestling family. The cast currently includes Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Holt McCallany, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney and Lily James.

During an interview with Notsam Wrestling, MJF said he booked a huge movie role. He also said that Warner Brothers Discovery is coming up with non-wrestling roles for him.
On last night’s WWE RAW, The O.C. gained a new member in a familiar face.
As The O.C. faced off against The Judgement Day, AJ Styles said they didn’t find a solution to their Rhea Ripley problem, it found them, a masked figure came in and attacked Rhea Ripley. It was revealed to be the returning Mia Yim.
Yim was previously released from WWE in November of 2021 and had been working the independent scene ever since. She also had a run with Impact Wrestling that ended last month.
Tonight’s WWE Raw will air live on the USA Network, and will emanate from the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Raw will feature the fallout from last Saturday’s Crown Jewel and will be the start of the build to Survivor Series, which will take place on November 26.
As of this writing, no matches have been advertised for tonight’s show.
There isn’t a lot of time to book the WarGames matches, so it shouldn’t be long before we know more about the participants.
The O.C. is expected to debut their new equalizer for Rhea Ripley on tonight’s RAW, but this has yet to be confirmed. This past weekend, The Judgment Day defeated The O.C. at Crown Jewel.
The storylines involving Johnny Gargano, Dexter Lumis, and The Miz are also expected to continue, with Kevin Owens possibly returning to action as well.
Gargano, Owens, Lashley, RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, WWE United States Champion Seth Rollins, Matt Riddle, Bayley, and Austin Theory are all advertised for the show on the WWE Events and arena websites.
Over the weekend, Natalya noted that she suffered a dislocated nose last week on SmackDown during her match against Shayna Bazsler. The bout was taped over a week ago.
On Monday, Natalya noted that she underwent surgery for the injury and breathe again. She wrote the following:
“We moved my dislocated nose back to the center of my face where it belongs!! I love the shape of my nose and it will stay the same, thank goodness! Can finally breathe again. Pain is beauty! LFG!”
