It is difficult to imagine a time when your favourite WWE superstar will no longer compete inside the squared-circle.

Sadly, retirements and injuries are a part of wrestling and sooner or later, every wrestler will be forced to hang up their boots, whether that is as a result of an injury, or simply because old age has caught up with them.

Several WWE icons are likely to be hanging up their boots very soon. The retirement of these superstars will no doubt be an emotional moment for the WWE Universe, as fans will be forced to say goodbye to superstars they have been heavily invested in for several years.

Let's take a look at three WWE superstars who could be r very soon.


#3 Big Show

At the age of 46, The Big Show is still improving in the ring. He was in the main event of Smackdown Live this past week, and he put in a great performance against Randy Orton. That being said, age is catching up with the former WWE Champion, and his days in the ring are running out.

While The Big Show did wrestle in a main-event match, there is no clear sense of direction for him going forward, and at the age of 46, there is very little chance that he is going to have another top run in the WWE.

WWE currently has the most talented roster that it has ever had and they are underutilizing several great performers like Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Asuka, just to name a few. With no creative input to develop the younger superstars, there is very little chance that WWE is going to invest their time in Big Show.

It seems likely that Big Show will hang up his boots next year and move into an ambassador's role in the company.

#2 Goldust

Goldust has been a loyal performer for the WWE over the last two decades. He has managed to pull off a difficult character for the majority of his career and he is the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Dusty Rhodes.

But with age slowly getting the better of him, and after going through a double-knee surgery earlier this year, the veteran might be forced to bring an end to his in-ring career pretty soon.

Goldust turns 50 just after a few days after next year's WrestleMania, and the former tag-team champion has talked on various occasions about hanging his boots up.

Like The Big Show, Goldust could move into an ambassadors role in the WWE. Alternatively, he could make a move into WWE creative or head out to the indies and work with his brother, Cody Rhodes.

#1 The Undertaker

Wrestlemania 35 could be The Undertaker's last ride

The Undertaker has been with the WWE for over 25 years and has produced some of the most iconic matches in the company's history, but two decades of in-ring work have taken a toll on the deadman and this was visible during his recent Super Show-Down encounter with Triple H.

Despite this, The Undertaker is currently scheduled to wrestle at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

The Undertaker is now 53 years old, and his age has meant that he is no longer able to perform to the same standard he used to in the ring.

Calling a fitting end to The Undertaker's career will not be easy, but Wrestlemania 35 could provide the WWE with the perfect stage.

Taker has carried the torch in the WWE for over 2 decades, and his retirement should present him with the opportunity to pass that torch onto a younger superstar. The Demon King, Finn Balor could be the perfect option, given some of the more supernatural elements of his gimmick.
