This kind of depends on how they feel about competing. If they get to a stage where they feel like they can't achieve total victory anymore and want to bag it then, that has a massive impact on this. Personally, I'd say David Campbell, but even then I still see him going at it for another 6-8 years. All these guys still have plenty of talent and are more than capable of making deep runs today and in the future

I feel that Travis has 3-5 years left in the tank.

Probably Travis Rosen. He was considering it after the first USA vs the World competition.

Yeah Travis has probably got one more Stage One fail left in him before he retires- I think if he doesn't clear stage one this year, he's done.

Why are McGrath and Wilczewski on this list? McGrath is 30 and I think Wilczewski is even younger. Even Stratis and Bernardo are relatively young. Brian Arnold is nearing 40 and would be a better inclusion.
Overall however, athletes can be competitive in ANW well into their 30s and 40s since it's low impact and non-contact. Geoff was 36 when he achieved Total Victory and Caldiero was 33 (I think). Both could do it again if they returned to competition. It's hard to imagine someone as passionate as David Campbell retiring before he's at least ~45.

Matt Iseman just did a live video where he teased that a huge retirement announcement was coming next week: www.facebook.com/mattiseman/videos/10154983803263925/I'm not sure if I ought to put my guess in spoiler tags, because it's just a guess and I don't know. But better safe than sorry: {Spoiler}Most of the strong ninjas in the episode are young, rising stars like Daniel Gil or Barclay Stockett. So I'm guessing this will be Kacy Catanzaro.

Based on Instagram activity and interests, I would have to agree.

I mean, it's pretty clearly not Daniel Gil or Barclay Stockett, since they've stayed so active in the local circuit this summer. I doubt it's Brent. And I think those are the only four finishers who have gotten promoted enough that there would be a tease phrased like that.

Yeah all signs point to Kacy being WWE bound...
I guess I don't mind that, NXT sucks except Takeovers anyways, although that sad moment when you realize that this probably means of everyone who could break Asuka's streak, it may very well be f***ing Kacy Catanzaro...

She's been regressing and losing motivation to continue in the sport. I think its a good time for her to retire and move on. I wonder what happened to her gym that she shares with Brent.

I mean she probably won't be super hands on with Alpha Warrior like she used to be but she probably will still be able to be involved, while WWE doesn't let you take outside wrestling bookings for the most part if you're not performing you can still keep going with businesses like that, for example Seth Rollins is still allowed to be involved with his wrestling school and that's even with him being active on programming, I'm sure an NXT signee like Kacy can still work on the Alpha Warrior business.
