A former WWE Superstar is set to give his retirement at an upcoming wrestling event.
Tyrus, formerly known as Brodus Clay in WWE, is set to give a speech about his retirement on the September 19th edition of NWA Powerrr. The former champion has had an impressive career in professional wrestling, but it came to an end at the hands of EC3 last month.
EC3 battled Tyrus for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, with the stipulation being that the big man would have to retire from in-ring competition if he lost the match. Tyrus gave it everything he had but EC3 picked up the victory at NWA 75 Night 2 and ended the 50-year-old's career.
