In an interview with Battleground (via Fightful), Moose said that he plans to retire from wrestling when his current deal with TNA ends, likely around 2028. Moose confirmed earlier this year that he signed a five-year deal back in 2023.

He said: “One of the reasons I’ve always stayed and never left to go elsewhere is because when I’m done and hang the boots up, I want my name to be synonymous to TNA. Right now, when you say those three letters, the name that everybody thinks of first is AJ Styles. Five years from now, once I hang the boots up, because that’s when I’m planning on hanging the boots up is once my current deal is up, I want my name to be the first name that people think about when they hear TNA. That’s the plan. I’m not one of those guys that wants to keep wrestling until he’s 50 or 60, I want to hang those boots up and ride into the sunset and enjoy some of this money I made with pro wrestling and pro football.“

Sounded shocking at first but he will be in his mid 40s and took football bumps along with wrestling for awhile so makes a lot of sense.

Damn I may never get my Moose in WWE moment.

But I completely understand the reasoning. Dude will definitely be in their HOF one day

For some reason I always thought a guy like Moose would be a guy like Ishii who would wrestle forever but it's smart to get out and be healthy for the rest of your life. Still doesn't mean it won't hurt for me when he does hang up his Boots.

Happy to see someone who isn't going to just do the indie thing forever. He'll have had a 12 year career with TNA by the time it's over and be a multi-time World Champion, so honestly you can call him a TNA Legend at that point. HoF 2029 I'm guessing
