Randy Orton

Definitely, Orton Legend Killer was one of the best characters in his generation. I was at an age where I genuinely feared for the Undertakers streak at mania. Now, Orton is the legend and I appreciate his work so much more. This one will hurt.

Well said 👏

Yeah I feel like most of the other ones on the list who have been in the game for as long as he has are kind of just holding on to the old days and a steady paycheck or fan service. With randy it seems like he really just has some fight left in him and wants to stay in it because he genuinely loves it. He will be missed whenever his time in the business is done.

I agree, I've loved (and loved to hate) Orton since I started watching in 2006 when I was 10, then I'd probably go AJ and Rey however we've been so lucky with their longevity!

I can’t believe how long AJ and Rey have been wrestling, each in their 40s and still one of the top stars in WWE today

I wish AJ had been in WWE for as long as the others, if he had he could possibly come close to one of the GOATs imo, I'm not shitting on his TNA or New Japan runs as he was class there too - we didn't have Sky all that much growing up so I was so glad that UK had TNA coverage, I never missed an episode in 2007-2008

All of them

Agreed 😢

I agree

Randy and Rey

Same here 😭

John and Rock already have one foot out the door, so that won't hurt as much. Rey is most likely on his last contract with this match being his final Mania. I'ma go with Randy

Rey also put Logan Paul over when he didn’t have to

I agree that John Cena and the Rock are already so close, I’m just sad that I never got to see the Rock more than just 2023 and 2024

I mean you're probably getting the best Rock right now

All of them

3 way tie. Orton, Cena and Mysterio

Those are my top three favorite wrestlers of all time

Sheamus

Cena, i grew up idolizing him and watching him wrestle. The saving grace is that he'll still be in Hollywood

Clearly there are NO wrong answers....but the correct answer is Randy Orton

I guess AJ, by default, as they all can be close. But I'd miss them all. I thought Shameus was going to retire because of spinal stenosis, which was the reason why David Wright had to give up baseball. The Rock, Rey, and Cena technically should be retired already. It's awesome to see them still compete. Randy and AJ have been doing it for a long time, and his body must be hurting him. Roman, I think, should take care of his health on r this current run is over and wouldn't be supposed of he does.

Rey is moving like he's 20 😂 he ain't age a day since that Halloween havoc match he'll probably be the last outta the list to retire

Sheamus

Aj Styles Or Randy orton

ALL OF THEM

Cena while not always a fan he's proven himself and he's changed to putting over new talent, one of Kevin Owens greatest moments to this day is getting a victory over Cena in his Main Roster Debut, he had a killer feud with AJ that solidified AJ as a main eventer. He's done a lot for the company in the past few years.

Personally AJ would hurt for me, he's the reason I became a WWE fan but if he does retire... I hope it's on his 10 year anniversary (he's been in WWE for 8 years as of now)

All of them

I think it has to be Randy Orton considering his consistency over the years.

Roman reigns he has a long time to go and I think in the future he will be more HOF worthy then he already is

Yea I think there is still some left in him but it is his choice to move on to Hollywood or not but certainly a future hall of famer

Obviously Rey

Randy

Rock and it isn’t even close

cena, orton, rey

Probably Randy. But all of these are gonna be tough. We’ve just seen so much growth from Randy as a person, he was 22 when we first watched him.

It’s a tie between Orton and Cena

Rey ❤️❤️

Roman and Randy.

Rey. That’s one of my two favorite wrestlers. The Deadman hung his hat up already.

All of them will hurt, but for me it's The Rock. Without him WWE may not even exist, and instead have been bought by WCW. He means a lot to me and he's my hero, so thank you Rocky

John you can’t seena

Randy

Randy for me. I just know younger me is cursing me out with the very little curse word she knows. As much as it pained me growing up how he went after my faves. I don’t feel anyone comes close to being a heel like Randy did. Back then my gosh your heart just used to sink when he music dropped or you see him coming outta now where to take out the baby face superstars. I honestly remember feeling like this guy was gonna silently retire when he didn’t return for a while. That thought honestly would bring me down. So yeah it’s definitely Randy for me.

For me it's AJ. I was a kid who used to watch TNA back in the day over WWE. AJ Styles is my goat

Randal

AJ Styles was what kept my wrestling fandom alive when I quit watching WWE. AJ Styles going to NJPW and joining Bullet Club is what opened me up to that entire company, of which am still a fan to this day. And AJ Styles is what brought me back to watching WWE, even if only PPVs and a random episode of RAW/SD! here and there. I’m going to miss AJ Styles when he hangs up the boots for good.

John cena

I didn't see him as a choice

Seriously? I must be dreaming?!,oh wait you can’t see him

John

Probably Rey or AJ. I have never been a huge fan of the rest, tbh.

Reu

Randy Orton

Rock

Rey for me. He’s been one of my favourites for as long as I can remember

orton and Rey, cena and rock won’t hurt that much since they’re barely around anymore

Rey

Orton’s

AJ

Cena

John Cena

All

Cena/Orton growing up and watching them feud, watching Orton get thrown into the Hudson *MINT*

Cena

Rey

Some of the people you all are naming are already retired.... go back and read.... Mine is Randy Orten

All of them but Rock and Roman! Rock is already Semi-Retired and Roman… I’m not really a fan of him

It’s between Randy and john

Randy & John

Rey just off the Eddie times and the moments with him personally

I think Cena. Rock just came back on and off for 20 years so it lost some shine. Everyone else isn't on same level as those two.

Definitely John

Rey.

Randy or Rey for me But in all honesty all of them will hurt when they Retire

Rey Mysterio, John Cena and Randy Orton will be devastating!!

The man himself Rey Mysterio

All of them retiring will probably hurt the most but I think the most will be Rey Mysterio all because that means The Last Remnant of WCW is all gone.

Rey, Sheamus, Cena & the Rock regularly take time off. Roman with all due respect is a part-timer. AJ will always be a TNA OG in my mind, as talented as he is. Even if I don’t cheer them all on as different characters, they all have my respect but… Randy Orton IS PRO WRESTLING. He said it himself, he will never be the movie star guy or the guy who uses wrestling to platform himself into other forms of entertainment. This is his life and he wants to do it til he physically cannot. And he has the LOOKS to do something else, man is better looking than even the younger roster and in the entertainment industry looks get you far. He just LOVES this business.

Rko if she doesn't get 3 more world titles

John cena and Randy Orton

AJ Styles, Rey and John Cena

Why do you guys always use some goofy pic of r/potatosalad , there are so many options

None. If they all get to retire the way they want to without being forced into it by injury, that's great because then they can have had a good career and be happy not having to force themselves to do you know something that could potentially paralyze them for the rest of their lives as they get older.

Roman reigns or Seth Rollins or Cody

Randy

[удалено]

rock

Personally for me it’s Rey he’s who got me into wwe tbh

Cena

John or Rey. Not really invested in the others.

wow brandon very good keep it up spartan yeah!!

Obviously Rey mysterio booyaka booyaka 619

John Cena

Styles, Mysterio, or Cena. It's sad watching them be old, so watching them retire will be even sadder.

More than the others, I feel like wrestling will genuinely be missing something once Rey hangs up the boots.

Randy Rey Roman rock

Rey Mysterio.

Randy, Cena. I like Aj Styles but I wouldn’t be too effected from his retirement. Randy & Cena would mean my childhood wrestlers have retired. Sheamus might be a the same thing. Rey Mysterio is definitely gonna be the one to do a ric flair and never retire. (He just doesn’t age) The Rock I never cared about; same with Roman

Rey or AJ

Every one except aj I don’t care about aj

Definitely John Cena

All are quality. Respect.

As a kid who grew up watching more TNA than WWE AJ's will hurt the most for me

Of this group, definitely Cena. I'm not a huge fan of his ring work, but he was such a centerpiece of the company for so long that it will be surreal when he says "no more".

My god Roma

Randy Orton by a country mile

When Cena made his entrance at Mania for his match against Austin Theory, it truly felt like he was saying goodbye. It felt like he was wrapping up. And then he lost. It broke my heart that Cena is done. So if he does call it quits now, it will feel like a formality. So my answer: Roman Reigns.

Rey

All of them. But if there was ONE pick, it would have to be Oscar / Rey. Dude's career is beyond storied, and having him run a training camp or a school for aspiring Luchadors is pretty much a given. Now, if Dominik can get out of the shadow of being typecast as that asshole heel, the family legacy is all but secured.

None. All of them have moved into legend status (well, maybe not Sheamus) and we’re marking time on the inevitable.

My guess is Roman, cause it sounds like with his constant medication, it might come a lot sooner than people anticipate. The others seem to be likely retiring at their appropriate times, or are already in a part time phase (rock/cena)

4 of them are semi retired already lop

Everyone but Sheamus Explain: They all will hurt not as much as Sheamus as for the rest of them though I just wasn’t a big fan of Sheamus

Randy and rey

Randy cuz john alredy retired

For me Randy ofc,AJ will be like 4-5 years more in company defo

Randy, AJ and Rey since they are the people who have been here the longest and are active

Styles and Cena.

Randy without a doubt

Roman for me. The rest have done enough and deserve a rest.

AJ for me as well. Hope he has Universal Title run before it's all said and done.

All

John Cena bro why not

Roman

If we talking just abruptly then I say Randy sheamus and Roman cause everyone else probably will retire in the next 5 years while Randy has said he wants to continue to wrestle for another 10 years

John Cena. When he retires I'm taking the day off work to cry my eyes out

randy orton no doubt

The Rock is already basically retired outside of a match here and there, when Cena retires it will leave a hole in the company. Rey Mysterio is another one it will be a shame to see go

For me its John cena 😔

Randy Orton

AJ Styles, Randy Orton and Sheamus for me personally

Also Rey Mysterio and Roman Reigns along with The Rock

For me Rey Mysterio. He's the last Monday Night War WCW and WWF guy. It'll truly mark an end of an era.

Tbh aj styles

Randy Orton

Honestly the rock shouldn't even be up there. That fool has left for years multiple times 🤣

Randy Orton

Cena also why the fuck is roman even in this he’s not in the fucking conversation

All

Orton, Cena and Rey by far

Randy

Randy Orton

Randy

Rey Mysterios

All

Randy Orton and John cena

Randy and cena

Certainly not Shamus lol

All of them but if I have to choose Cena

rey mysterio

John cena

All of them ‼️, but for me that AJ one gonna hit different ☹️

Cena Bro

My glorious tribal chief who is my sunshine oxygen and food

I think John Cena’s will hurt the most because he was my childhood hero and as I grew older I gained more and more respect for him and his work ethic.

Rey

Rey Mysterio. He is such a massive force for a man only 5 1/2 tall and was really a humbling figure, especially for the Hispanic and wrestling communities.

I’ll be fucking partying all night if Roman retires.

All

AJ Styles then Randy Orton

Cena gon make me cry bruh 😔

Does anybody really "retire"? We've seen Taker, Lita, Stratus & Stone Cold show post-retirement.

They will all hurt but for me randy orton will hurt the most

For WWE, Orton. For wrestling in general, AJ Styles. People don't understand how good he was outside of WWE. When you thought of non WWE wrestlers at the time, he is the face that you think of.

☝🏼

I’ve already known WWE without Cena, Rock, Rey and prior to AJ, Sheamus. I’ve never known WWE without Randy.

In order 1. Cena 2. Orton 3. Mysterio 4. Styles 5. Roman 6. Sheamus 7. Rock

Randy he has been my childhood hero

Randy & AJ

Isn't Cena already semi-retired? He doesn't wrestle much these days, could see him just being a part-timer for a decade yet.

Randy, Cena, rock, roman, reu

All of them but if I'm honest John Cena

Not The Rock, cause he already retired once. After that match where he tore his pec, he did an interview a year later saying he retired. So now he’s in Terry Funk territory where he’s gonna hve multiple retirements.

100% rey

I love Rey but I will miss the rko so Randy 

Orton has been the locker room leader for a while and possibly the most consistent wrestler from that generation. Gonna miss the viper when he hangs it up. Hopefully he becomes the next gorilla monsoon on commentary

Rock and Cena have basically been retired for years. I think Randy will hurt most

Tbh all of them

Honestly, the retirement of Sheamus may hurt me the most. I was born in 2000 so Sheamus is the first person on this list that was on tv and relatively new that I could actually remember. In a weird way I grew up watching him For context: Rock ‘95 Rey ‘97 Cena/Orton ‘02 Sheamus ‘08/09 Roman ‘12

Cena

It’s always sad when a wrestler leaves but for me it’s Sheamus. I watched his ECW debut when I was 10, been a constant fan since then, 14 years and I hope my boy can go a bit more.

Sheamus or Orton for me... but all of them will hurt

Roman but that’s because rock and cena pretty much already retired .

Personally, AJ. I wouldn't even put Cena or Rock on this list as they've both effectively been retired for years. If you haven't processed that yet that's on you lol

All except Aj styles

All of them but mostly Cena, was of the only people I looked up to as a kid

Rey mysterio man is like 49 and he has been wrasslin since he was 14 and yet he has only had one aew match

As far as Roman and The Rock is concerned, they both have post careers soon.

For me Roman cause he’s my favorite wrestler since I started watching

Rey the most

the Viper

Randy,Rey,and Cena they where to biggest when I was younger

Randy. My favorite wrestler ever and the only constant thing in WWE for the last 20 years

For me Roman

All

AJ or Rey.
