The Leader Of The Cenation Said:

Here's where we give you some of the deets of the farewell tour. It is not going to end at WrestleMania. WrestleMania 41 will be my last Mania. But hopefully if everything goes according the plan. We are going straight through from January to December. We are going to try a long list of dates. I think right now tentatively it is hovering around mid 30s to 40s because I am still going to try to juggle a lot of stuff that is going on. That will be the end of my in-ring competition. But having said that, I am going to continue to work with the development talent because I love the business so much.
