3 WWE Superstars that aren't going to retire anytime soon and 2 that have probably wrestled their final match

Retirement. One day, everyone has to retire from what they have been doing. Wrestlers are no different. They hurt their body almost every day for our entertainment but still continue until their body can't take any more pain.

In WWE, fans often prefer nostalgic feeling over talent because... well, it's how things work. During this year's Super ShowDown event, many legends returned to the ring and the match card contained more part-time performers than full-timers, which proves my point. Some WWE Superstars are old enough to retire but for many reasons, with money being the top, they continue wrestling for Vince McMahon. However, not every wrestler can take pain in their old age.

Here are 3 WWE Superstars that aren't going to tie their boots soon and 2 that may have done it already.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 Not going to retire soon: The Undertaker

When Brock Lesnar broke 'The Streak' of The Undertaker, fans assumed that the latter has retired. But he returned, months later, to take his revenge from Lesnar. And since then, we have been hearing rumors of the Undertaker retiring from the ring.

Even though he can't perform like before, it's certain that he still brings the money. It's one of the reasons why The Undertaker still slugs it out in the ring, despite his age. The Deadman is working for Vince McMahon for almost three decades, which makes him one of the longest tenured employees of WWE.

Since WWE has partnered with Saudi Arabia's General Sports Authority, it wouldn't be shocking if The Undertaker continues wrestling in the ring, at least for a few years before he could finally hang up his boots. But does it hurt the legacy Undertaker has created in all these years? Almost every (hardcore) fan wants him to retire but, 'Taker is still wrestling, for WWE and for us.

#4 Retired this year: Batista

Batista returned to WWE in 2019, when he attacked Triple H's mentor Ric Flair. This angle booked a feud between Batista and Triple H who tussled it out at WrestleMania 35 in a match where the latter's career was on the line.

The match resulted in The Animal getting retired from wrestling, though it wasn't officially announced. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, the Hollywood actor revealed he is retired from WWE and wouldn't return to the ring again:

"This is a real wrestling retirement. I am done. My in-ring career is over. I would love to go back on the show because I love the company and I believe in the product so I would go back and go on the show. If they ask me to go in the Hall of Fame I will. But I will not have another wrestling match. I will go broke before I have another wrestling match and I will not go and work for another promotion," he said via Fightful.

#3 Not going to retire soon: Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar performs as a part-time Superstar for WWE. He only works in big pay-per-views and yet takes away a lot of money from Vince McMahon for a single appearance.

Seth Rollins defeated Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 and fans were relieved because they thought the latter wouldn't return to WWE anytime soon. However, in May, Lesnar shockingly returned and won the Money in the Bank briefcase. It is almost confirmed that WWE wants him to have another world title reign, sooner or later.

According to a rumor, Brock Lesnar discussed retiring from WWE at next year's WrestleMania 36 with Vince McMahon, but considering WWE is losing ratings and they are also going to compete with AEW soon, it wouldn't be shocking if The Beast continues working for McMahon. After all, there's a reason why the CEO of WWE pays millions of dollars to Lesnar every year.

#2 Retired this year: Goldberg

Goldberg returned to WWE in 2016 and instantly shocked the wrestling world when he defeated Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series in less than 90 seconds. Goldberg later won the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens but lost it to Lesnar at WrestleMania 33.

It was his final wrestling match until he made his return again for Super ShowDown. WWE booked Goldberg vs The Undertaker in Saudi Arabia, which was seemingly the worst match of both Superstars. Not only did we see multiple botches, but it was also clear that Goldberg was having issues performing almost every move.

A majority of fans believe that Goldberg should retire from wrestling because if he doesn't then he could seriously injure himself of his opponent, which shouldn't happen. Goldberg is past his prime time and it would be better if he never wrestles again.

#1 Not going to retire soon: Triple H

Triple H suffered various injuries throughout his wrestling career but despite this, he continued working for WWE. He is almost 50 years old but could still provide a decent match, which is one of the reasons why he may not retire anytime soon.

The Game is also the mastermind behind NXT and despite his hefty schedule, he manages to wrestle occasionally. In the past few years, Triple H has put over many younger talents and it wouldn't be shocking if he continues doing that, for the next few years.

He has already defended his career in multiple 'Mania matches but has always come on top. NXT Superstars are the future of WWE and Triple H would definitely want to create his own Superstars in WWE, but to do that he has to continue wrestling. When the time will come, The Game would retire and continue doing backstage work.
