For the last five years, Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins have tackled the often difficult task of balancing life on the road as a pro wrestler with life at home as a parent. Still, both of them are showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.

While speaking with GQ, Rollins and Lynch, who married in 2021, addressed whether they’d retire from in-ring competition once their daughter, Roux, reaches grade school.

“No,” Rollins said. “We were just reminiscing the other night actually about all the places we were able to take our daughter when she was a baby on the bus. Different parts of the world, the entire country, every kids museum and playground from here to Kentucky. So we were super fortunate to be able to do that. We have a really great system and a great team to help. You know, they say it takes a village, but yeah, I don’t plan on retiring when she goes to school.”

According to Lynch, she plans to remain active in the ring for the foreseeable future because she genuinely “love[s] working.” Rollins joked that Lynch loves it so much that “she wants to work until she’s in the ground.”

Currently, Lynch is in her second reign as WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, having unseated Maxxine Dupri on “WWE Raw” earlier this month. Meanwhile, a shoulder injury has kept Rollins sidelined since October 2025, with “The Visionary” unsure of when exactly he will be cleared to return to the ring. Last year, the two teamed together for a mixed tag match against CM Punk and AJ Lee at WWE Wrestlepalooza.

Sami Zayn just might do it. He’s a living legend in Saudi Arabia, and Drew McIntyre is prone to being humiliated in big match world title situations. Sami Zayn might just be WWE Champion by this time next week.

Zayn didn’t exactly go into SNME as an underdog, but with two easy pinfalls in Trick Williams and Damian Priest, it felt like Randy Orton was one or two RKOs from punching his ticket to Riyadh. But Sami Zayn did the near-impossible and bested Randy Orton on a show run by Paul Levesque. Obviously, Zayn could be in a position to really get some heat on Drew McIntyre. Crushing Zayn’s dreams in Saudi Arabia would definitely cement his status as a heel world champion.

But for now, the skies are clear, the Rumble venue has been suspiciously finished being built in record time, and Zayn could be just days away from finally becoming a world champion in WWE. If he does, especially in Riyadh, the ovation is going to be one of the biggest pops in the history of this weird little artform we all follow.

American mixed martial artist Gable Steveson signed with WWE in 2021 and was viewed as one of the top athlete turned wrestler prospects in the company, but after just three years, he was released after struggling to commit to performing full-time. After several poor in-ring efforts, with his NXT Great American Bash match with Baron Corbin being at the top of the list, and WWE growing frustrated with the young star, many would think that Steveson still holds some animosity towards the promotion. However, in a recent interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience,” Steveson stated that he has nothing but respect for WWE, and provided further insight on his decision to not pursue a career in the business.

“I had a great experience. I have nothing wrong with anybody there. TKO was great, Triple H, Paul Levesque was great, Stephanie [McMahon], Vince [McMahon], everybody was great. I just had a competitive drive that I needed to get out. And so, when that gap is there, you can’t do both, and I was trying to bridge both, and I wasn’t giving my 100% to the business, and if I’m not going to give 100% to the business, then you might as well X me out because it’s already over with.”

Steveson continued by sharing if he would consider returning to WWE if given the opportunity, “I would love to go back in the future … if it meant well and I would do it again most definitely because I have no hard feelings to them, and that’s how it goes.”

In addition to Steveson’s lackluster in-ring ability, his career was also tainted by sexual assault allegations, and was arrested in 2019 on suspicion, but never faced criminal charges due to lack of evidence. Today, Steveson is focused on his mixed martial artist career going forward, and has been training with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.

AJ Styles has long confirmed that 2026 will be his last year as in-ring performer. The exact date for his retirement match, however, has remained up in the air. Thanks to a new Instagram story, that may no longer be the case.

Following his loss to Styles at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, fellow WWE star Shinsuke Nakamura revealed a diary entry he had penned about his history with Styles, including a conversation they had during an overseas live event tour in 2025. According to Nakamura, it was then that Styles disclosed the date and location for his in-ring retirement, the 2026 Royal Rumble on January 31 in Saudi Arabia.

“During last year’s Australia tour, at a house show in Melbourne, AJ gave a speech after the match,” Nakamura wrote in the now-deleted post. “Listening to it, it was clear he was thanking the fans. But somehow, it also felt like he was hinting that retirement might not be that far away. The tour continued to Japan, and before the shows there, I asked him something. We were in a van on the way to the meet and greet. I asked him, ‘When are you going to retire?’ He answered, ‘The Royal Rumble. I’ve already decided.’ Me… …!!! Whether I actually said it out loud or just thought it for a split second, I’m not sure. But I remember it clearly. ‘Before you retire, I want to wrestle you one more time.’ AJ nodded.”

Last week, WWE announced that the Royal Rumble may indeed mark Styles’ last match as “The Phenomenal One” has agreed to put his wrestling career on the line against “The Ring General” GUNTHER at the respective event. Of course, fans will have to wait until the Royal Rumble itself to see if Nakamura’s subsequent post was truly a spoiler or another storyline swerve keeping them on their toes.
