In a recent interview with Cody Rhodes on the What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Triple H revealed how he handpicked Roode for a producer role in the company.

“When his career started to wind down, at that time, I remember thinking to myself, when he wants to be done taking bumps, like, he’s a good guy for this. I always start out with the, ‘He’s a grown-up, as well.’ He’s not a kid just looking to get another paycheck, right? He understands the difference between business and being one of the boys and all that stuff. Grown-up, but gets it and just has a great demeanor for it and is a sponge for it,” he said.

It’s great to see Bobby Roode embrace a producer role in WWE under Triple H’s guidance.

Triple H confirmed that Bobby Roode has retired from in-ring competition

During the same interview, the Game confirmed that Bobby Roode has officially retired from in-ring competition now. Roode hasn’t competed in a single match since 2022. His last televised match was the 2022 edition of the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He has been working as a producer in the company since then.

“Unfortunately, he had a neck injury that wasn’t subsiding. He and I spoke about it. I said, ‘Why don’t you come in and start learning to be an agent? And if the medical stuff clears up, it’d be great. It’ll help your career. If it doesn’t, we’ll start using it’ but, man, he jumped on it, and just very quickly I started moving him up the line and then having the conversation with Mike (Hayes) about, ‘Mentor him’,” said Triple H.

Fans are overwhelmed after seeing so many legends retire in the past few months. Stars like John Cena, AJ Styles and Hiroshi Tanahashi are no longer active stars and now a Bobby Roode return is also out of the picture.
