These WWE Legends are beloved by the pro-wrestling community
WWE has a long history of legends and veterans who have helped create the landscape of the Stamford-based business throughout the years. Many renowned stars continue to compete in the ring. Randy Orton and R-Truth are two well-known figures who continue to compete in the squared circle.
Let’s look at the top five retired WWE legends who want to have one final match:
5. Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle has been rumored to return to the ring or work as a manager for others. After losing to Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35, the Olympic gold medalist announced his departure from the WWE.This raises the chance that Angle will return in the near future for one more match and a meaningful farewell to the Stamford-based promotion.

4. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin wowed fans in his last bout with a stunning performance against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. Many fans expected The Texas Rattlesnake to participate in the ring or make a surprise cameo at WrestleMania this year, but that did not happen.
Taking all of this into account, Stone Cold stands out as a strong contender, as the WWE star could conceivably return from retirement to fight in a match at a high-profile live event. WrestleMania 41 is undoubtedly a perfect site for spectators to see the renowned figure engage in one final bout.
3. Mick Foley
Mick Foley is another name expected to come out of retirement, as he apparently has a desire to compete again. The veteran is still affiliated with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Earlier sources suggested that Foley was advised against holding a retirement match, but this does not rule out his return to the ring. However, this is only feasible if Mick Foley gets in shape and is medically cleared to participate one more time.

2. Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan may still want to get inside in the squared circle. The Hulkster has made appearances in the organization on rare occasions, confirming that he is still affiliated with WWE.
One of the most well-known wrestling adages is ‘Never say never.’ While Hogan is extremely old, it may not be difficult for the star to have a bout with minimum involvement. Hogan also has a fair chance of making a comeback for one more match in the Stamford-based promotion if he is willing.
1. The Undertaker
The Undertaker is one of the legendary icons of the Stamford-based organization, whose legacy appears everlasting and will be remembered for generations. The Deadman has already retired from the organization, with his final bout against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 being a cinematic Boneyard bout.
Despite his retirement, The Phenom may return to compete in future battles. Although fans haven’t seen ‘Taker compete in the ring in a while, he still makes occasional cameos in WWE. So it seems reasonable that he would return for one more bout.
