Over the past five years, WWE has built a deep roster and an extensive list of main event talent, but fans are often surprised at how close they are towards 40, especially in the men’s division. Superstars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes and Gunther are thought to be at the height of their careers and are expected to wrestletter for years to come. However, in the women’s department, the story is different. The talent of top women in WWE is often questioned about resigning or shifting to part-time roles once they reach the age of 35.
“For many women in their 30s, it’s like, ‘Oh, are you caught up in? When are you ready to go outside?” But look, 75% of the men’s side feel like 38, 39, 40, 45… So let’s give the women the same honor and the same grace. ”
Big E’s comments also came after Becky Lynch’s outstanding women’s intercontinental championship match this past weekend with Lyra Valkyria, proving that “The Man” can perform at a high level at the age of 38.
