An AEW star envisions his retirement to be similar to John Cena.
The Cenation Leader announced his decision to retire from wrestling more than a year in advance. In 2025, he\'s going to different cities to show his gratitude to the audiences there one last time before calling it a career.
MVP expressed interest in a similar tour during the latest episode of his YouTube show. The Hurt Syndicate star once again noted how he does not have a lot of time left in his in-ring career, and explained that at this point he\'s continuing it only for the love of the game:
\"I just still enjoy doing it. When I get to the point that I can’t do it effectively or if I’m taking baseball slide bumps, then it’s time to go. I plan on ending this run here pretty soon anyway. I want to have my last match. I want to have the retirement tour, let me go around, ‘Hey, this is the last time MVP will be wrestling in your city.’\
When the co-host joked that MVP had another 20 years left as an active performer, the wrestling veteran said that he has a maximum of 2-year window left to end his in-ring run. Though the 51-year-old said that he\'ll continue working as a manager beyond that and be active in the business for maybe next 10 or 15 years.
The former WWE star made his AEW in-ring debut during the January 15 episode of Dynamite this year. He has wrestled several matches in the indies since then.
