In a raw, tearful moment that left fans stunned and silent, Trevor Murdoch announced his retirement from professional wrestling on NWA Powerrr, bringing an end to a remarkable 27-year career. Following his final battle in the 2026 Crockett Cup, the veteran openly shared his fears of falling short of his own high standards. He thanked loyal supporters for helping to send his children to college, paid a heartfelt tribute to his mentor, Harley Race, and emotionally credited Billy Corgan for believing in him when others had written him off.
45-year-old Murdoch, whose real name is William Mueller, debuted in 1999 after training under Harley Race at the WLW academy in Missouri. He soon rose to prominence in WWE as part of the hard-hitting Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch tag team, winning the World Tag Team Championship three times during the Ruthless Aggression era. After successful independent runs and TNA appearances, his greatest resurgence came in the NWA under Billy Corgan, where he became a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. Known for his old-school values and tireless work ethic, Murdoch leaves an indelible legacy as a competitor.
