Batista is an accomplished WWE star and a worldwide Hollywood Celebrity. He was part of a successful faction called 'Evolution' alongside Orton, Flair and Triple H.
On the occasion of Ric Flair's birthday, the Animal attacked Flair and challenged Triple H for a match at WrestleMania 35. Triple H accepted the match but stipulated that if Batista loses, he would retire.
Triple H won the match at WrestleMania and therefore retired Batista. It was a brutal match and a perfect farewell for the Animal at WrestleMania.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era. He had a pivotal role in carrying the company during the 90's. His contribution to the pro wrestling industry is immeasurable and has inspired many young talents.
Austin's illustrious career came to an end at WrestleMania 19 after he was forced to retire due to serious back and neck injuries.
Rock was his perfect opponent for the valedictory match as both of these superstars were arch-rivals for most of their careers. The Great One and Texas Rattle Snake had also collided at WrestleMania 15 and 17.

Tejas has been an AEW writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2021. Possessing a degree in Food Processing Technology, it was his brother who introduced him to Sportskeeda, and he has never looked back since.
Tejas’ writing style is analytical and descriptive style, mostly sticking to statistics. He believes in thoroughly checking all statistics and information before using them in his articles to ensure his readers get nothing but the best and most accurate stories. He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.
His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.
In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
