Paul Heyman Details What Semi-Retirement Could Look Like For Him, Doesn’t Think He’ll Ever Fully Retire

Heyman details what semi-retirement would look like for him.

To promote the forthcoming release of the WWE 2K26 video game, WWE talents and personalities are making the media rounds.

Paul Heyman has been a part of that media blitz, and one of the outlets he spoke to was Metro. He was asked about the idea of retirement and cutting back on his work. Heyman does not see himself fully retiring, but he did open up about what semi-retirement could look like.

“Probably long after I’m – well, I don’t think I’ll ever retire, but I’ll be semi-retired by then, and be jetting in from Costa Rica, or some villa off the coast of Italy, and as I’m jetting in for these major events, the main event of WrestleMania will be prepped for, that main eventer will have been taught how to be a WrestleMania main eventer, will have been enticed to continue on his path of being a Paul Heyman guy to the main event of WrestleMania. So I take great satisfaction in the fact that the people that I am surrounded by now will be the dominant main eventers of WrestleMania for at least the next generation and into the next generation after that.

Semi-retirement for me would probably mean writing, producing, directing a couple of movies a year, creating a streaming show or two, maybe get into – finally, after all these years – the podcast business. Semi-retirement just means semi-retirement from WWE, but I mean, we’re talking at least 15 years from now. I’m just getting started at this, b*tches, I’m just understanding the magnitude of the greatness that I put forward. So for me to even contemplate slowing down is unfathomable at the moment, but at some time, I may just want to enjoy one day off per year.”

Heyman was present on the 2/23 Monday Night Raw in Atlanta, Georgia. He was with The Vision faction and appeared again alongside Brock Lesnar to issue Lesnar’s open challenge for WrestleMania 42.
