Dave Batista was asked about his status on Twitter, and the former WWE Champion gave a bluntly honest response. The Animal reacted by stating that retirement had lost all its credibility in pro wrestling as examples of retired wrestlers competing again were just too high.

Batista had the following to say:

They're going to have to come up with another word thats used specifically for professional wrestlers who actually mean it when they say they're retired. Currently, the word "retired" has zero credibility by professional wrestling standards. 🤦🏻

Batista's in-ring status and AEW's surprise for the Revolution PPV

Batista wrestled in his last professional wrestling match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35, and the former world heavyweight champion announced his retirement following the violent showdown.

Batista was officially announced to enter the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2020, but the event got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports suggest that Batista will go into the Hall of Fame in the ceremony before WrestleMania 37.

Batista's in-ring days seem to have passed him by, but Paul Wight's time as an active wrestle is far from over.
