Sarah Rowe (Sarah Logan and Valhalla in WWE) won’t be returning to a wrestling ring any time soon.
On the Wise Traditions Podcast, Rowe explained how she came to the decision of being a “homesteader”, a farmer and leave her wrestling career behind.
“So, when COVID happened, they let go like 150 wrestlers. I was one of those wrestlers at the time that got let go. So, my husband was still hired. I got let go. So, we were like, let’s have a baby. I always wanted to grow my own food. I come from a family of farmers that used to rent land to farm on, but they were very much into traditional agriculture farming, like corn-fed Red Angus, all that stuff, and so I knew I wanted to get back to that, but I wanted to do it differently because I know what I know, I listen to the podcast, and just in general. The day I got fired, I started looking into starting a farm here because we had the land. We bought a place with like 20 acres of agricultural fields that was previously used for corn. I am like, let’s plant some hay, let’s get some cows. We got some Highland cows that we still have today,” she said.
Rowe admits she has a lot to learn still, but she doesn’t regret her decision to leave the squared circle.
“When I was on the road and I thought about becoming a mother and becoming a farmer, it sounded so peaceful. I asked myself, “What if I never want to come back to wrestling? What if I just want to stay at the farm?”. Once that happened, and once I got fired, had a baby, got re-hired and then I just left the company permanently. My contract expired on the 5th, and I’m not renewing it. I don’t want to come back to wrestling. Maybe I just want to start a homestead and be a farmer and a mother? Once that happened my body wasn’t used to that peace. I was scared of it and I didn’t ever, I never felt like I was doing enough.” she said.
Rowe is married to Viking Raider Erik (Raymond Rowe). They have two sons.
