Yet, for Tyrus, this is not an ending, but a moment of closure. It’s not a farewell, but an acknowledgement of a finish line crossed after a race well run. His simple words, ‘It’s time,’ not only signals the end of an era in professional wrestling but indeed, opens horizons anew for him to embark on fresh ventures.
