Seth Rollins has revealed his retirement timeline, indicating he plans to step away from in-ring competition when he reaches 45 years old. Rollins shared this information during a recent appearance on WFAN.
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.
Rollins clarified that he currently feels physically capable of continuing his in-ring career. “Both of those things are appealing to me. So just got to figure out what that feels like. But like my body’s definitely…I feel good right now. I feel very good,” he added.
When discussing his post-wrestling career plans, Rollins expressed a preference for working behind the scenes rather than in an on-camera role like commentary.
I think I’m more behind-the-scenes guy when it’s time for me to finish up. Like 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. Once I’m done in the ring, like let me go back, let me help, you know, the business. Let me help the young guys and girls, let me do something like that… Yeah, maybe something in the creative department. We’ll see.
Rollins is the co-owner of Black & Brave Wrestling Academy, where NXT Tag Team Champion Nathan Frazer trained.
