5 reasons why Roman Reigns plans to transition out of WWE in 2 years
We as WWE fans often tend to take superstars for granted. This was something we've learnt time and again and as the saying goes: "absence makes the heart grow fonder". In the case of Roman Reigns, it was a lesson harshly learnt around late October 2018, as he shockingly announced that he was battling leukemia.
The general expectation was that he would be out until early 2020 at the least, but to everyone's surprise, he returned by late February 2019 and returned to in-ring action in early March.
He's been on a roll since then, but a recent interview with The Sportster made Reigns indirectly reveal that he's wrestling on borrowed time. He openly admitted potentially transitioning out of WWE in two years, stating:
How I feel physically, where my health is, I want to take advantage of the next couple of years and just really maximize my WWE career and give back to the company, to the guys in that locker room as much as possible.
It's very clear that Roman Reigns is on borrowed time and he knows it. But why does Roman Reigns only have two years left in WWE? Here are a few reasons why.
#5. Doesn't want to tarnish his legacy in WWE
Roman Reigns has really achieved a lot in WWE. If he does retire in two years, that will mean that he would have enjoyed atleast 5-6 years or so on the top of WWE. Being proud of his legacy and extending that of the Samoan family line in WWE, Reigns knows that he has created a legacy for himself.
Perhaps he feels that if he does continue wrestling after two years, his legacy will tarnish as he goes through a physical decline.
