As many WWE stars have been discussing their retirement from the world of entertainment wrestling and John Cena is already in the line and is in one of the laps of his farewell tour, Seth "Freakin" Rollins has also revealed his plan to bid goodbye to the industry and shared his plans recently.
Speaking in an interview with WFAN, Rollins shared his plan for retirement, the road to WrestleMania 41, and other future plans. Rollins appeared on the show with hosts, Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata, ahead of his WWE RAW match.

During the interview, the former WWE champion revealed his retirement timeline on the show and discussed that he does not want to retire anytime soon. The champion said: “No, I’ll be 39 in May. You know, 45 maybe really sounds alright to me, I think. It’s kind of going to depend on what I do in the next few years as far as outside of WWE or behind the scenes in WWE. Both of those things are appealing to me. So just got to figure out what that feels like. But I feel good right now. I feel very good.”
The wrestler also revealed that his retirement might take place 6 years later, at the age of 45 probably. Later when asked about his plan and transition to commentary, the wrestler responded, “Commentary no, not so much. I think I’m more of a behind-the-scenes guy when it’s time for me to finish up. I’d like to be on the other side of it. I don’t want to be like a character in front of it anymore.”
