Samoa Joe comments on the timeline for his potential retirement.
Samoa Joe, 44, has been wrestling since December 1999. He has had successful runs in ROH, TNA, and WWE. Joe is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and NXT Champion, among other accolades. He recently had a record-setting run with the ROH World Television Championship, and he is currently signed to AEW, where he is feuding with AEW World Champion MJF.
In an interview with Adrian Hernandez, Samoa Joe was asked to describe how long he sees himself continuing to wrestle and whether he will keep competing until his body tells him he can’t.
“I’ll probably stop well before then. I’ve been really, really fortunate. When I came off the concussion, I took two years off to really get everything back into order, and in that time too, just in the recovery process, really changed a lot around in my training and changed a lot of things around that have benefited me to a great amount health-wise. I feel good right now. As far as where the train will end, I’ll let it play out a little bit more. But I will say this, I definitely have more than a handful of good years left in me. Beyond that, I’m excited…if we are gonna out, we’re gonna go out with a bang. So it’ll be interesting to see how these next few years play out,” Samoa Joe.
