Taryn Terrell has announced her retirement.
Terrell, formerly known as Tiffany in WWE, mostly left wrestling in 2015, though she came back for a set of tapings in 2017. She returned in 2021, and she has been working with the NWA. She has had ten matches for the company, and she has been aligned with Natalia Markova in recent weeks.
In a post on Instagram on November 9, Terrell stated that it is time for her to hang up her boots. She thanked the NWA and company president for the opportunities. Terrell also wished the company the best and noted that she intends to keep entertaining by doing stunts.
The post is as follows:
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 NWA’s official Twitter account responded to the post and stated that everyone has loved watching Terrell shine both in the ring and alongside. The post stated that she will be missed and wished her nothing but the best on the path ahead.
