On April 18, 2025, Brunk wrestled his final match for the company Game Changer Wrestling. The match took place in Las Vegas, the same weekend as WWE’s Wrestlemania 41 show. Brunk faced Joey Janela in a no-rope barbed wire match, which Brunk won.

A longtime professional wrestler has died just weeks after competing in a retirement match. Terry Brunk, known to fans as Sabu, died at the age of 60, WWE announced Sunday. A cause of death has not yet been revealed.

The wrestler was known for his "hardcore" moves that would involve him leaping from chairs and driving his opponents through tables and even barbed wire.
