Fans of WWE’s Attitude Era received news that one of the most iconic tag teams from that period, the Headbangers, will be retiring in 2026 after an impressive 33-year career. The team, consisting of Mosh and Thrasher, made a huge impact during the 1990s with their unique gimmick of headbanging to their own music and offbeat personalities that captured the audience’s imagination. Their legacy includes winning the WWE Tag Championship at the 1997 In Your House Ground Zero pay-per-view.
The Headbangers have announced their final match, scheduled for July 23, 2026, at the ISPW Legends of Wrestling Night in Wildwood, New Jersey. Although they briefly returned in 2016 for a Smackdown Tag Team Championship tournament, this announcement marks the definitive end of an era. The team is celebrated not only for their longevity but for their distinct contribution to the tag team division and Attitude Era culture. This news gives fans a chance to celebrate their career and prepare for a fitting farewell.
