Flip Gordon has resigned with the military.
In an X post, Gordon announced that he had reenlisted.
He wrote:
A new chapter. Same mission. After 11 years of living my dream around the world as a professional wrestler, I’ve decided to finish something I started a long time ago. I have officially reenlisted in the Army National Guard. But make no mistake… Wrestling isn’t over. Flip Gordon isn’t finished. I’ll be back in the ring. I’ll be back in Mexico. And I’ll be back representing CMLL. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through every chapter of this journey. Soldier. Wrestler. Husband. Father. The Super Soldier of Lucha Libre will return.
A new chapter. Same mission. 🇺🇸
