I personally as a fan, and who cares what we think, it’s about what he wants in his life. But I’m selfish, and I’m a fan. I’m not satisfied with the editing. I would love to see Batista one more time. I think there’s more. I just think there’s one more story to be told," Rosenberg said.It remains to be seen if Batista will return to the Stamford-based promotion ahead of John Cena's retirement.
