Former WWE wrestler Romeo Roselli, known for his global wrestling career, will have his retirement match at Northeast Wrestling's WrestleFest XXVIII at Westchester County Center on May 10 at 7 p.m. Raised in Harrison, Roselli's lifelong dream was to wrestle in his hometown venue. His opponent for the match is yet to be revealed.
Having wrestled from 2000 to 2017, predominantly under the name Romeo Roselli, he also competed with WWE from 2004 to 2007. Now based in Del Ray Beach, Florida, Roselli eagerly anticipates performing in front of his daughter for the first time in a building with significant personal and historical value. WrestleFest, featuring a star-studded lineup including The Hardy Boyz, Kane, and Mick Foley, is a fan-centric event hosted by Northeast Wrestling, celebrating its 30th year of operation. Tickets for the event, starting at $40, can be purchased at the County Center box office or online via Ticketmaster.
Roselli's return to the ring was a deliberate decision, aligning with his desire to wrestle at the prestigious County Center before retiring. Having trained notable individuals like drummer Max Weinberg, Roselli's wrestling career, both within and outside WWE, stands as a testament to his success in the industry. The retirement match signifies a poignant moment for Roselli, as he reflects on his journey and prepares to bid farewell to his wrestling career in a venue that holds significant sentimental value for him.
