10 Times You Didn't Realise Wrestlers Were Saying 'Goodbye'

10. Bobby Roode

It seems like Bobby Roode was working tags next to Dolph Ziggler then everybody blinked at the same time and he's retired. Genuinely, the 'Dirty Dawgs/Dogs' experience feels like it happened 10 minutes ago. In truth, Roode wrestled his last match in June 2022. His final televised effort was WWE's Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale on the 1 April SmackDown that year.

Time flies.

Bobby disappeared from screens shortly after that, then went under the knife for major neck surgery later in the year. Online, people wondered collectively when the 'Glorious' one would return, but it wouldn't be until February 2024 that Roode revealed he was effectively retired. That was a sad update.

Some are split on whether Bobby under or overachieved in WWE. Either way, it sucks that Triple H hasn't been able to use a talent as versatile as the ex-TNA man since assuming control behind the scenes. Being dumped out of a battle royal by Madcap Moss was not saying goodbye.
