The anticipation for Mick Foley’s final match has taken an unexpected turn. The wrestling icon had big plans for a farewell bout, but recent health concerns have led to its cancellation.
Foley, renowned for his personas like Cactus Jack and Mankind, had his sights set on a final showdown to mark his 60th birthday in 2025.
Speculations about potential opponents like Jon Moxley and Matt Cardona were rife, but nothing was set in stone, particularly as the match wasn’t planned within WWE.
In a recent YouTube update, Foley disclosed that a concussion had derailed his plans. He shared,
“I had to miss a couple of appearances because of dizziness and lightheadedness… symptoms that point to a concussion I didn’t even know I had.”
Considering the risks, he decided to call off the final match, heeding his family’s counsel.
Reflecting on his decision, Foley expressed gratitude to fans and ended the video with his trademark catchphrase. This announcement marks a change of plans for the legendary wrestler, whose last official match dates back to the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble.
In a separate note, Foley took to social media to celebrate Dominik Mysterio’s birthday and commend his rising career.
Known for his heel turn and association with The Judgment Day, Dominik received high praise from Foley, who dubbed him “the greatest living luchador.”
The accolade comes as the young wrestler continues to make strides in WWE, despite recent setbacks at WrestleMania XL.
With Foley’s final match now off the table, fans are left to cherish his storied career while keeping an eye on rising talents like Dominik Mysterio.
