Sheamus vowed to end Jamie Noble's career last week, sending him out of the ring on a stretcher. After 7 years with the WWE, Noble retired Tuesday shortly after being released from the hospital.

"Luckily, the doctors tell me I'm going to recover again." Noble told WWE.com. "But I'm laying here thinkin' about how great my life is with my wife and my son. I'm thinkin', how many more times am I gonna be lucky enough to walk out of the hospital on my own?"

Noble is a former Cruiserweight Champion. He has suffered a few injuries to his neck through his career, including one in February which also sent him to the hospital.
