However, he knows he is older now and does not know how much time he will take to retire. The Canadian wrestler has never had surgery in his 40s and is unsure about his body's recovery. He added that he has learnt that listening to his body is much better than rushing back. During WWE Backlash, the 46-year-old did not realise that his sore arm was partially torn going into the match.
