R-Truth Reflects On Retirement Timeline – R-Truth has opened up about his future in professional wrestling and how he approaches the idea of retirement after a career that has spanned several decades. During an appearance on the Saturday Night’s Main Event Recap, the longtime WWE superstar was asked whether he has begun thinking seriously about when he might finally step away from the ring.

Rather than pointing to a specific age or date, R-Truth explained that his decision will be guided by how his body feels. He made it clear that he is not interested in forcing an ending or setting an artificial deadline. Instead, he relies on physical feedback to determine when the right moment arrives.

“I always like to say, I steal this from The Rock, I let pain in my body be my guide as far as when it’s time for me to go,” R-Truth said. “Right now, I still feel good.”

That mindset has helped him remain active and productive on WWE television well into a stage of his career where many performers have already retired. Despite being one of the most experienced talents on the roster, R-Truth continues to work regularly and remains a reliable presence in various roles.

R-Truth also credited his longevity to lessons he learned earlier in his career, particularly advice from Booker T. He explained that focusing on in-ring psychology and working a sustainable style has been key. By choosing moves he can perform safely and consistently, he has avoided many of the serious injuries that often shorten wrestling careers. This careful approach has allowed him to stay healthy and relevant for years.

The conversation also addressed his contract situation. R-Truth confirmed that he signed a new WWE deal in June, shortly after being released by the company only days earlier. While he is grateful to be back, he acknowledged that this contract could realistically be his last as an in-ring competitor.

“I’ve thought about it,” R-Truth said. “I just renewed my deal, so this could be the last one. We all have to have that time. We all have to get off the ride at some point.”
