Why Batista will never wrestle another match

There have been cases in the past where wrestlers have come back from retirement. Many fans have speculated about a potential return for The Animal over the years. Last year, the legend spoke with Chris Van Vliet and explained why he doesn't want to make a return to the ring.

"This is the way I wanted to go out. This is like a dream for me. This is why it’s so perfect, it’s such a romantic way. Wrestlers don’t get to choose the way they go out. I did. I went out on my own terms the way I wanted with the guy I wanted to go out with. I will never tarnish that. It’s not that I don’t miss it. I miss a crowd. I miss the energy of the crowd. I dream about walking out and hearing my entrance music. But I know if I do that, I will just tarnish my storybook ending, and I’m just not willing to do it.” (H/T ITR Wrestling)

The 56-year-old star lost to his mentor and friend Triple H in a No-Holds-Barred match at WWE WrestleMania 35 in 2019. Shortly after, he announced his retirement on social media.
