AEW Star Admits Retirement Is Getting ‘Closer & Closer’

AEW Star Admits Retirement Is Getting ‘Closer & Closer’ AEW

Following the recent retirement of Christopher Daniels, another AEW veteran has noted that they might be heading into retirement sometime in the near future after decades in the business.

Juggling his executive positions in both AEW and NJPW with being an active in-ring talent, Rocky Romero seemingly has an eye on the end of his career.

Making an appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Rocky Romero opened up about feeling as though he is getting closer to retirement.

Romero said:

“Something like that, yeah. I try not to keep track, I know it’s above 20 and I just say 20 plus because it just makes it easier. When you start to see your contemporaries and the guys that you came up with start to kind of make the decision to go away, you start to think, oh wow, it’s maybe coming a little faster than expected.

“I don’t know, I think about it all the time and it changes. Some days I’m like, maybe three more years. Some days it’s like, oh, maybe five, I’m feeling really good. I don’t see it more than five, I think I’m getting closer and closer to it. The busier that I get, even though it’s the thing I love the most — to be able to perform in the ring and have the crowd go nuts, there’s nothing like it.

“It’s hard to walk away when you put it that way and you think about all these moments and it’s been my life for so long. It’s the one thing I was enthralled with and fascinated by was professional wrestling. It’s gonna be weird.

“I never really thought I’d make it to these heights, I never expected to make it as far as I have. I don’t take it for granted and when it happens, I don’t know how it’ll happen. I don’t know if I’ll have a send off or I’ll just go quietly into the sunset, I don’t know. We’re getting closer though, I can feel it.”
