Biggest Wrestling Stars Who Won Their Retirement Match

Ric Flair

Ric Flair has a well-proven wrestling career that has spanned over 30 years. Originally, Flair’s first retirement match was an emotional defeat to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. Although Ric Flair retired from wrestling in WWE, it didn’t stop him from competing outside of the promotion.

For a few years, he would wrestle occasionally in TNA until retiring in 2012. Much like Austin, Flair wrestled for one final bout in 2022. Instead of a loss, he picked up the victory in a tag team match with Andrade El Ídolo against Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. This match was known as Flair’s final go as the event was called “Ric Flair’s Last Match”.
