Las Vegas, 13 November - Professional wrestling is an arduous sport that can exact a serious toll on the body. Even the most elite athletes eventually face the decision to retire, and 2024 may mark the year when several top WWE stars choose to hang up their boots.##
Currently, there are a couple of WWE stars who continue to perform as full-time talent, despite suggestions that they should retire from in-ring competition. The oldest WWE star still actively wrestling is R-Truth, who is presently 51 years old.##
Whether wrestlers should retire from WWE is a personal decision that only they can make. However, there are several factors they may want to consider. ##
Below check out the top 5 WWE stars who now should retire; ##
#1. R-Truth (age 51): The oldest WWE star still active in the ring is R-Truth, currently 50 years old. With over 30 years of wrestling experience, he remains one of the most entertaining and popular figures on the roster.##
Presently, Truth is in recovery after sustaining an injury during a match against Grayson Waller. The injury is expected to keep him out of action for an extended period.##
Throughout his WWE career, R-Truth has achieved notable success, including winning the WWE United States Championship twice, the WWF Hardcore Championship twice, the WWE 24/7 Championship 54 times, and the WWE Tag Team Championship once with Kofi Kingston. ##
#2. John Cena (age 45): Cena, a WWE legend, has been reducing his in-ring appearances in recent years due to various commitments outside of WWE. It is evident that his passion for wrestling has diminished compared to earlier years, yet his lasting impact on the younger talent remains undeniable.##
Cena boasts an impressive record of winning gold on 16 different occasions. This includes securing the WWE Championship 13 times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the WWE United States Championship five times, and the WWE Tag Team Championship twice — once with The Miz and once with David Otunga. Additionally, he clinched the World Tag Team Championship twice, partnering with Batista and Shawn Michaels. ##
#3. AJ Styles (age 46): On the one hand, Styles has had an incredible career. He is a two-time WWE Champion, a three-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and a four-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He has also won numerous other titles and awards throughout his career. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. ##
On the other hand, Styles is 46 years old. He has been wrestling for over 20 years, and his body has taken a lot of punishment over the years. He has also suffered from a number of injuries in recent years. ##
Styles has said that he wants to retire when he is still at a high level, and he does not want to go out on a sour note. He has also said that he wants to spend more time with his family. ##
#4. Trish Stratus (age 47): Trish Stratus retired from professional wrestling on a full-time basis in 2006, but she has made occasional appearances in WWE since then. In 2023, she made a full-time return to the roster. ##
At 47 years old, Stratus maintains excellent physical condition and remains a highly popular wrestler. She continues to serve as a role model for many female wrestlers, contributing significantly to paving the way for women in professional wrestling. As a WWE star, she has achieved notable success, winning the WWE Hardcore Championship once and the WWE Women's Championship seven times. ##
#5. Rey Mysterio (age 49): Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest luchadors of all time, and he has had an incredible career in WWE. He is a one-time WWE Champion, a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, a three-time WWE United States Champion, a three-time, WWE Cruiserweight Champion, a four-time WWE Tag Team Champion - with Edge (1), Rob Van Dam (1), Eddie Guerrero (1), and Batista (1) and a one-time WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion – with Dominik Mysterio. ##
Mysterio is currently 49 years old, and he has been wrestling for over 35 years. In 2023, Mysterio said that he plans to retire within the next two years. He said that he wants to retire when he is still at a high level, and he does not want to go out on a sour note. ##
I believe that Mysterio should retire soon. He has accomplished everything he could ever want to accomplish in wrestling, and he is at risk of serious injury if he continues to wrestle for too much longer. He should retire now and enjoy his well-deserved retirement. ##
