The former United States military veteran is now 45 years old. During a recent interview with Complex, Lashley revealed that he could wrestle for five or ten more years before retiring.

"Five, 10, years down the road when I retire, I want to be that Goldberg that comes back every once in a while and puts a hurting on some of these people," he said.

Lashley is currently active on Monday Night RAW. He recently defeated Rey Mysterio on the November 15 episode.
