5 former WWE Superstars who may never wrestle again

#2. WWE legend Batista

Batista spent nearly a decade as a regular competitor in WWE before leaving in 2010. The Animal then returned to Vince McMahon's company in 2013 before leaving again a year later.

In April 2019, the former World Heavyweight Champion made his last comeback to face Triple H at WrestleMania 35. Following his defeat in his bout against The Game, Batista announced his retirement from professional wrestling.

In an interview with Chris van Vliet, The Animal stated that he would never compete again.

"This is a real wrestling retirement. I am done. My in-ring career is over. I would love to go back on the show because I love the company, I believe in the product, so I will go back on the show, and if they ask me to go in the Hall of Fame, I will. But I will not have another wrestling match. I will go broke before I have another wrestling match, and I will not go and wrestle for another promotion. It's not going to happen," he said.

Batista is now a Hollywood star. The 53-year-old has starred in several famous movies and TV series over the past few years, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Army of the Dead, and See.
