WrestleMania 41 ULTIMATE GUIDE: Roman Reigns hints at retirement ahead of blockbuster clash
Roman Reigns will continue his run atop WWE at this year's WrestleMania, but how much longer the multi-time world champ remains in the fold is unclear.
The 39-year-old has been one of the promotion's biggest stars for the past decade and has main-evented a record 10 times at the biggest event of the year.
However, in an interview with Vanity Fair in the lead-up to WrestleMania 41, the topic of Reigns' future was brought up, and it looks like the clock may already be ticking.

"After I finish the contract that I'm in, we probably [have] got another year or two max," he said.
"Then it's time to take on a less physical form of entertainment."
It's believed that Reigns is currently signed with WWE until after WrestleMania 42 next year, but anything after that could be a bonus.

Matches against The Rock and Jacob Fatu still loom large for Reigns, who has taken the company to new heights from a box-office perspective over the past five years.
Reigns will square off against CM Punk and Seth Rollins in a blockbuster triple threat in the closing match of night one this year in Las Vegas, with all three men sharing a storied history both inside and outside of the squared circle.
It's one of a host of marquee matches on the card at Allegiant Stadium for the two-night extravaganza, with John Cena's retirement tour kicking into full gear.
