12 Ups & 4 Downs From Impact Wrestling Hard To Kill 2021

10. Thank You, Madison

Madison Rayne has announced her retirement from Impact Wrestling.

It was revealed earlier in the week that 'The Queen Bee' would have an announcement regarding her immediate future upon her and Josh Mathews being replaced in the announce booth. Considering the previous reports stating Rayne would be leaving the pro wrestling industry entirely, this didn't really come as a surprise.

Spending twelve years in the company, Rayne has been a genuine pioneer to the knockouts division. A former five-time Knockouts Champion and two-time Knockouts Tag Team Champion, 'The Locker Room Leader' doesn't get anywhere near the level of credit she's deserving of. Alongside Gail Kim, Angelina Love, Awesome Kong, and Taylor Wilde, Madison helped put the division on the map. A sure-fire Hall of Fame inductee come Bound For Glory weekend.

Thank you for everything, Madison.
