While Paul Heyman has been loudly pushing WWE to plan ahead for WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, he just made something else clear hes not planning to walk away from wrestling anytime soon. Heyman has spent the past week openly discussing long-term WrestleMania strategy, even revealing on Busted Open Radio that hes been lobbying internally for months to prioritize what he calls Saudi Mania. But in a new interview, the conversation shifted from booking the future to his own. Speaking to Metro UK on February 25, 2026, Heyman addressed the idea of retirement and immediately shut down any notion that its around the corner. He first painted a picture of what retirement might even look like for him. Heyman didnt stop there. He explained that even in this hypothetical semi-retired state, he would still be involved in shaping WrestleMania main eventers behind the scenes. He made it clear that mentoring and building the next generation is already part of his long-term vision. When asked what semi-retirement would even mean, Heyman suggested he wouldnt exactly be slowing down just shifting lanes. He then clarified that even that scenario is nowhere close as he wont even talk about semi-retirement until 15 years from now. And in true Paul Heyman fashion, he closed with a reminder that hes nowhere near finished with the wrestling business. For a man already mapping out WrestleMania years in advance, it sounds like Heyman sees himself shaping WWEs biggest stages for a long time to come. Do you think Paul Heyman will ever truly retire or is he destined to be part of WrestleMania forever? Let us know your thoughts. G Add as a preferred source on Google
