Nikki Garcia reveals retirement timeline & hopes for final run (33:06-34:21)

Nikki Garcia: I'm coming close to the end, and I know I've talked about this, but I am. I'm very great with that year and a half, whatever it is, the end of 2027, and I really just want to finish this out exactly how I want. If I got to break rules, I'm going to break rules, but I want to end it how I see it, so I don't look back and go, “What if?” Creatively, if I feel a certain way, I want to do it. I don't want to sit there and go, “Oh, but follow the rules and be a good girl.” I want to challenge myself. I want to fight for myself. I want to stick up for what I believe in, and then I also want to be super impressive, and I want to produce great stuff as far as matches, but also creative, and I want to continue to be a part of great changes for women's wrestling, and constantly making women's wrestling feel important and special, and while I'm doing great things, bringing other people up with me to do great things.

Brie Garcia: And that right there is what it's all about
