Detroit Pistons legend Dennis Rodman has been living his life in a unique manner post-retirement. From getting his girlfriend’s face tattooed on his face to hosting wild fight events in his backyard, Rodman continues to remain in the spotlight by engaging in absurd yet entertaining activities. The 5x NBA champion’s recent return to the squared circle has drawn a lot of attention as fans had 1 demand.
Back on Friday, ?All Elite Wrestling? announced that Dennis Rodman would be making his round at the professional fight ring during a match held at the United Center, the Bulls home arena, in Chicago.

The event kicked off with a bang, with Rodman standing beside the renowned wrestling group ?The Acclaimed?, while a group consisting of wrestlers like Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh, and Jay Lethal stood in front of them.
The highlight of the match took place when 36-year-old referee Aubrey Edwards got distracted by Karen Jarrett. The NBA star took advantage of this opportunity to swing a huge guitar on Satnam Singh. This led to ?The Acclaimed? taking home the win.

The event was an unforgettable one, given the fact that Dennis Rodman was returning to the fight ring after 15 years. His last bout occurred in the late 90s when Rodman made multiple appearances on WCW. The most memorable match occurred when the former NBA star teamed up with renowned wrestler Terry Gene Bollea, more commonly known as Hulk Hogan.
Bulls fans want Dennis Rodman to be honored
The adrenaline-filled moment caught the attention of not only wrestling fans but that of NBA enthusiasts around the world. Many of them descended to the video uploaded by the Bulls to share their reactions, demanding one thing.
Many Bulls fans laid out their demand for Rodman?s 91 number to be retired through comments like ?Another reason for you to retire 91?, ?retire his number?, and ?RETIRE #91?. The retirement of a jersey number is a prestigious honor only awarded to a few NBA stars. While Rodman only played for 3 years in The Windy City, he won a championship every season and was instrumental in those wins.
