Last night's episode of ROH on HonorClub featured pro wrestling veteran Madison Rayne teaming up with Deonna Purrazzo, although they ended in a losing effort against Billie Starkz and Diamanté.
Later in the show, Rayne and Purrazzo appeared in a backstage segment, during which Rayne described the match as “very emotional.” She reflected on how much the business has given her, mentioning that this moment marked “the end of an era” for her.
Rayne acknowledged that she had been anticipating this change. She expressed that losing her father earlier in the year had caused her to lose a piece of herself. However, she has found purpose as a coach and praised Purrazzo as both her tag partner and best friend, stating that this was the perfect way to conclude her 20-year career.
Rayne is a former five-time TNA Knockout World Champion and a three-time TNA Knockout World Tag Team Champion. Her in-ring career began in 2005, and since then, she has had stints with SHIMMER, TNA, ROH, and AEW, as well as participating in the Mae Young Classic for WWE in 2018.
