AEW star Nigel McGuinness reveals reason for in-ring retirement

Nigel McGuinness was a top in-ring competitor before he hung up his boots in 2011. In an interview with TV Insider, he revealed that the real reason for retiring was not being able to make a living from wrestling.

"The truth of the matter is when I stepped away from wrestling, it was purely because I couldn’t make a living as a wrestler anymore. I could have gone back to Ring of Honor and wrestled that style, but I wouldn’t have made enough money to even afford health insurance, let alone save for the rest of my life. That style in Ring of Honor just wasn’t doable. WWE wasn’t interested in me because of an old arm injury, even though it was perfectly healed. I didn’t want to go back to TNA given what happened there. That was it. There was no AEW or anywhere else to make a living wrestling. I had no choice," Nigel said.

However, the AEW star returned to the ring at All In 2024 and has wrestled a few matches since then. With McGuinness celebrating a huge blessing amidst his run in All Elite Wrestling, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
