The current champion recently provided a clear timeline regarding his eventual retirement. During an appearance on the Nightcap Podcast at Fanatics Fest NYC, Roman Reigns was asked about his future plans and how much longer he expects to compete. The World Heavyweight Champion acknowledged that his priorities have evolved and that he believes he can continue performing at an elite level for another two to three years. The OTC, however, emphasized that his decision will ultimately depend on several factors, including his health, family life, and opportunities outside WWE.

“I definitely have a few more years in what I’m doing now. I guess it just depends on what the schedule would look like. And you’ve seen other performers. You know, I just talked to Undertaker a few minutes ago, and he was like, ‘I’m working more than I did in the past 10 years.‘ Because he had a very nice schedule, but he put in a lot of work to get to that point. I guess it just depends on what the outside projects look like, but I definitely feel comfortable with a couple to three more years of just elite-level top performance, said Roman Reigns.

While Roman Reigns believes he still is in his physical prime, he admitted that his priorities have shifted as his family has grown. The former Undisputed WWE Champion said he wants to make sure he can spend more time with his wife and children after dedicating so many years to his wrestling career.

The champ concluded by saying he would evaluate his physical, mental, and spiritual health in three years to determine his departure.

“I’m still in my prime. I still feel very good. I think it just gets to the point of where do I want to put my attention? I have a lot of children. I want to be able to give back that time to my wife that she sacrificed while I’ve chased this dream. So I think in three years or so, we’ll be able to figure out exactly what I want to do and what are going to be the variables that make me do that. You know, do I want to… how’s my body feeling? Where am I at mentally? Where am I at spiritually? Where’s my family at? Where are my children at? What are they doing? What’s the schedule look like for them? So we’ll see. But I still feel good, y’all.”

Roman Reigns makes honest confession about losing friends in WWE

Reigns reflected on how his rise to the top of WWE changed not only his on-screen character but also the way he approached relationships behind the scenes. The current champion admitted that embracing the Tribal Chief persona came with sacrifices he never expected to make.

Speaking on the Nightcap Podcast during Fanatics Fest, Roman Reigns explained that there was a turning point in his career when he had to decide whether he wanted to remain “one of the boys” in the locker room or become the face of WWE.

He finished by making it clear that his focus is no longer on building friendships, and he has surrounded himself with The Bloodline.

“There was around a time when I had to transform into the Tribal Chief. Around COVID when I came back, I had to make a choice of do I want to be one of the boys, or do I want to be responsible for the championships? Do I want to pull the wagon? Do I want to make this business better? Do UI And I had to make that choice and I’ll cleanly say that no, I don’t really have many friends anymore. I mean, I have my family, I have my blood, and that’s real. We’re not a faction. We’re a family. People wondering how long it’s going to go on for? Forever. Until I’m gone.”

It will be interesting to see which dream matches fans get to see in the coming years before Roman Reigns retires.
