      @@Loe_Jist I wouldn't be shocked if one or both of them started to wrap their careers up when she starts really getting into school. Unless they plan to hire tutors for her on the road to school her as they travel. But that would be a lot of organizing and cost to do so. When she'll be getting into school both becky and Seth will have entered their 40's at that point. And especially for seth who already has a laundry list of injury ailments he's been dealing with for years now. They might be ready to start winding down at that point. As both of them have been bankable stars for significant periods now where they'd both be financially well off and don't NEED to do it anymore. Maybe do a part time thing where they show up here and there, but I doubt they'll be TV mainstays anymore as their daughter starts getting into school and having to be more rooted to 1 location. Neither seems interested in missing out on her growing up.

So maybe a Rey Mysterio, John Cena, those guys, cause I'm personally curious about when the changes actually happened.
