During an appearance on SHAK Wrestling, The Undertaker was asked to name three wrestlers he believes should receive retirement tours within the next five years. He selected CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Paul Heyman, emphasizing their contributions to the wrestling business. The Undertaker praised Punk’s impact, acknowledged Heyman’s decades-long influence on multiple generations of talent, and expressed that Randy Orton, with his storied career, deserves to receive his flowers before hanging up his boots.
Meanwhile, John Cena’s retirement tour began in January during the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere. After falling short in the Royal Rumble Match, Cena is set to compete in the upcoming Elimination Chamber for a chance at a World Title match at WrestleMania 41, with his farewell tour set to conclude in December 2025.
Reflecting on Heyman’s legacy and Orton’s career, The Undertaker added:
“I would say CM Punk would probably be one of those. I don’t know how long (Paul) Heyman plans on hanging around, but I mean, I think he has done enough for enough talent that I think he should be in there….I don’t know who else is out there that may be retiring anytime soon. Maybe… Well, yeah, if Randy wraps it up. I mean, Randy definitely deserves that. I mean, he’s had a pretty storied career, and I’d like to see guys like that…Yeah, you definitely want to see them get their flowers and say their goodbyes.”
As Cena’s farewell tour unfolds and speculation builds around Orton, Punk, and Heyman’s future, the next few years could mark the end of an era for several of WWE’s most iconic figures.
