PWInsider has reported that Jimmy Valiant is set to step into the ring one last time on April 25 in Lancaster, South Carolina.
The WWE Hall of Famer will have his final match at an event titled Boogie’s Last Dance for NAWA Championship Wrestling, his first time in competition since September 2023.
Confirming this will indeed his “last dance” following a previous retirement, Valiant stated:
I’m honored to hang up my boots after 62 years of wrestling pro. I had over 15,000 matches and drove 6 million miles on U.S. highways, plus flying getting to those matches.
I want to dance down that aisle to my theme song, “Boy From New York City” one last time to make wrestling in 7 decades from 1964 to 2026 a reality for me.
NAWA promoter Michael Elliott noted that the night will be a historic event, with the independent promotion honored to be a part of it.
