Add as a preferred source on Google Victoria, a former WWE Women’s Champion and one of the top names in the women’s division during the 2000s, has confirmed she has no plans to return to the ring.
During a recent Whatnot stream, Lisa Marie Varon was asked about the possibility of competing again and made it clear that her career is over for good.
“No, no. I retired. I retired. My body hurts, you guys. I still do appearances, and Whatnot is my new favorite thing.”
This isn’t the first time Victoria has announced her retirement. In 2019, she said that would be her final year as a wrestler and faced Melina at a Masters of Ring Entertainment event, winning the promotion’s women’s title.
However, Victoria returned to WWE for the 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble, marking her first match for the company since January 2009. She entered at number 10 and was eliminated by Shayna Baszler.
Her last in-ring appearance came in January 2023, at iMPACT Wrestling. Working as Tara, she teamed with Gisele Shaw against the Death Dollz (Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka) for the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. The team came up short after Victoria hit the Widow’s Peak on her own partner.
Over the course of her career, Victoria won the WWE Women’s Championship twice. In TNA, she was a five-time Knockouts World Champion and also won the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship once.
Victoria signed a legends contract with WWE in August 2024.
