WWE legend Matt Hardy seems to have confirmed his retirement.

Aged 43, he first joined the organization in adolescence and, after winning a contract in 1998, formed one of the largest teams of all time with his brother Jeff.

He was released from his contract in 2010 but returned last year and has since teamed up with Bray Wyatt to form The Deleters of Worlds.

But after a live event in Corpus Christi on Saturday night, Hardy said he would move away from fears of a back injury.

He posted a video on social media, next to the message: "It's time for me to go home … to be a father and a husband.

"I have done so much more than I would ever have imagined doing in this industry.Thank you for making this amazing journey with me, ladies and gentlemen, I love you all."

Hardy added on the clip, filmed behind the scenes of the event: "I wanted to send a message to the fans that allowed me to live my dream for so many years, that's all I've always wanted do it and I did it at the highest level for 26 years.

"There has been a lot of speculation for a while on my fight longer.

"The WWE has allowed me to fulfill my TV commitments – never say never but it's probably the last time you'll see Matt Hardy in a WWE ring."

Hardy is struggling with a back problem and he suggests going backstage.
