After it was revealed that WWE ID Women’s Champion Laine Luck Time was up on the WWE ID program Earlier this week, independent wrestling star Marcus Mathers also announced his retirement on social media on Friday. Mathers went to X (formerly Twitter) to post an ad.
He said that as of this week, his time with the WWE ID has come to an end after two years, which he called “unbelievable.” Mathers said she “gained invaluable knowledge” as well as friends and memories.
“I want to thank WWE for their time.” Mathers wrote: “Time is the most valuable thing any of us can give… Now my next chapter awaits, and it’s up to me and my hunger to get me there. I’m in the driver’s seat. I’m going to show up ANYWHERE to fight anyone.”
In his post, Mathers teased the upcoming matches, saying he’s been training in the Dungeon since his WWE ID split with “some of the hungriest people in the world.” He mentioned his upcoming match against Amazing Red on Friday for the Crown Jewel Championship at the House of Fame, as well as his fight against Nick Gage on Saturday, as well as matches on Sunday and Monday.
