Batista Wants His Retirement Match to Be Against Triple H at WrestleMania

With the release of his blockbuster superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy set for Aug. 1, WWE superstar Batista has taken time away from the company to do promotional work for the movie.

Even though he’s currently away from wrestling, Batista still managed to find some time to discuss wrestling-related topics with The Mirror out of the United Kingdom.

He revealed in the interview that he’s not sure how much longer he can compete at his age (45 years old). He also believes his next run with WWE may be his last.

It’s not ‘will I go back?’, it’s ‘when will I go back?’. Hopefully it won’t be far too long…I realise my career is not going to be that long if I do go back just because physically… realistically, I’m 45 years old now, how much longer can I continue…? You do take a beating in professional wrestling. But I love it.

When he does hang up his boots for good, Batista wants his final match to be at a WrestleMania event against his longtime friend, Triple H.

Triple H right now is the guy I really want to work with. I want to go back and that’s hopefully that’ll be my retirement program. Yeah, I’ll have my WrestleMania retirement match with Triple H.

He confirmed during an appearance at Wizard World Comic-Con in June that he’ll be returning to World Wrestling Entertainment sometime in the fall.

Batista “quit” WWE during an in-ring segment on the June 2 edition of “Monday Night Raw” after getting in an argument with Triple H over opportunities the COO failed to deliver on.

A sequel for Guardians of the Galaxy has been given a release date of July 28, 2017.

Editor’s Note

I think the wrestling world would love to see one more Batista vs. Triple H match. Batista’s first-ever World Championship reign came at the hands of Triple H at WrestleMania 21. The rest is history.
