Roman Reigns, WWE’s reigning “Tribal Chief,” has hinted at a potential retirement from in-ring competition within the next few years. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Reigns revealed that his current WWE contract is set to expire after WrestleMania 42 in 2026. He stated, “After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max. Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment” .
Reigns, who will turn 40 in May, has been a central figure in WWE for over a decade, headlining multiple WrestleMania events and holding the Universal Championship for an impressive 1,316 days. His potential departure would mark the end of a significant era in professional wrestling.
Looking ahead, Reigns is set to headline WrestleMania 41 Night 1 in a highly anticipated triple-threat match against CM Punk and Seth Rollins . This bout could be one of his final marquee appearances, adding emotional weight to the event.
Beyond wrestling, Reigns has expressed interest in transitioning to Hollywood, following in the footsteps of fellow WWE alumni like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena. He has already appeared in films such as Hobbs & Shaw and is set to star alongside Eddie Murphy in the upcoming heist comedy The Pickup .
As Reigns contemplates his future, fans can look forward to his upcoming performances, which may serve as a farewell tour for one of WWE’s most iconic superstars.
