Batista Officially Retires From Pro Wrestling
Following his comeback match last night at Wrestlemania 35 against Triple H, Batista announced his retirement.
@WWEUniverse Thank you for letting me entertain you. I love this business and whether you cheered me or jeered me, I’m grateful for being a small part of your life. I am officially retired from sports entertainment and I am grateful for every second of my amazing journey ✌🏼

Batista returned to in-ring action for the first time in 5 years last night against Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match. Despite his loss last night, many believe he put on a good performance considering the large gap in his in-ring career.
Batista signed a developmental deal with WWE in 2000,, and has won the WWE Championship 4 times, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion 4 times, and is a two-time Royal Rumble winner.
