Joe Doering stepped away from wrestling in August 2022. He revealed that his brain cancer had returned and that he needed to undergo surgery. The former TNA World Tag Team Champion’s sister-in-law, Mandy Banh, announced back in December 2025 that he was battling a third brain tumor. He was first diagnosed with a tumor in 2016. She then provided an update earlier this month that the veteran was entering hospice care.

Doering entered the pro wrestling industry in 2004, competing across promotions like AJPW, NJPW, and TNA. He has left his friends, family, and fans with countless memories that will ensure his legacy endures forever.
