Is The Rock set to retire as a wrestler soon?

The Rock could retire as a wrestler soon. There are signs of him approaching the end of his career as an in-ring wrestler. With the revival of his Hollywood career, age not being on his side, a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction on the cards, and the focus on business, The Final Boss might call it in the upcoming months.

The Rock is unlikely to take part in WrestleMania 41, which might be the first signs of his retirement. It is understood that Hollywood is the first preference of The Rock over wrestling, and fairly so. At his age, The Final Boss is not in his best shape to be an active wrestler for a long time.

The People's Champ has witnessed success in Hollywood with his last few ventures. For the same reason, his focus would now be to build on it to re-establish himself as an actor and a producer. It could ensure The Rock does not have enough time to concentrate on his wrestling.

Potential reasons behind The Rock's retirement as a wrestler

There are opinions within the TKO board about The Rock being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as soon as possible. But for that to happen, the star wrestler must retire. With the TKO Board potentially seeing The Rock more behind the scenes than on the screen, they have a strong opinion on his Hall of Fame.

Moreover, the current era of WWE arguably has the greatest talents in the history of the company, as both men's and women's divisions are well-oiled with great talents for mid- and top cards. The Rock, much like John Cena and other aged stars, might not feel the need to continue.

Unlike Cena, The Rock might not awe a farewell tour for the fans. For the same reason, he could make a shocking retirement decision. Such claims have been made by the reports in the recent past. The Great One is concentrating more on his business and might indulge himself in it rather than his in-ring career.
