RVDhas competed all over the world in various pro wrestling promotions such as WWE, ECW, AEW and more, which is why many fans have been wondering whether he will ever retire from in-ring action. However, it appears that RVD believes retirements in professional wrestling are meaningless.
While speaking on his1 of a Kind podcast, RVD made it clear that he doesnt consider himself retired and doesnt plan to make a big announcement about it. He believes retirement in wrestling is meaningless since many wrestlers eventually return for another match.
Instead of declaring he is done for good, the WWE Hall of Famer prefers to go with the flow. If years pass without him wrestling, he might simply acknowledge it without making it official.
RVD stated that his focus has always been on maintaining his value instead of overworking or lowering his worth. He has seen many wrestlers take on too many matches in their prime, only to reduce their rates later when demand decreases. RVD refuses to follow that pattern. He would rather have fewer bookings at a high value than wrestle himself into a grave for $5.
Many fans might not agree with what RVD said considering the fact that John Cena is already on his retirement tour and its been a success. Regardless, RVD isnt wrestling as often, but he has no plans to officially retire. Since his last bout was in April 2024, well have to wait and see when he steps into the ring again.
