About this episode
Madison Rayne discusses her retirement from in-ring competition and her transition to coaching in AEW.
Madison Rayne returns to AEW Unrestricted to talk about closing the book on her in-ring career with her final ROH match alongside Deonna Purrazzo, and why that night was the perfect ending on her own terms. She opens up about the emotions of retirement, what it felt like realizing “this is it” in the ring, and how she immediately shifted her full attention into her already-started next chapter as a coach. Plus, Madison dives deep into life behind the scenes at AEW, working with Timeless Toni Storm, and helping guide the next generation, including Skye Blue, as they grow into superstar talent! Upper Deck’s AEW SP Signature Edition is here, featuring Mercedes Mone, Orange Cassidy, Kenny Omega and more! https://bit.ly/4srGApc AEW Unrestricted video episodes available Mondays at 1pm Pacific on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ4e4Lb87XTzETPZyj7nZoJ4xPBjKdzgy Learn more about your ad choices.
