I honestly think the guy's already achieved everything he's ever wanted to do in wrestling (main evented Wrestlemania, held almost every title in the company including World Champion, worked programs with all the top guys of his generation), and is just trying to enjoy the last few years of his career.
He's not worried about his "spot" because he knows he can make the best of whatever he's given. He can stay over without ever winning another match, which to me says more than how many World title reigns he's had.
