Batista Says WrestleMania 35 Was His Story Book Ending

As previously reported, Batista took to Twitter after his No Holds Barred loss to Triple H this past Sunday night at WrestleMania 35 and announced his retirement from WWE in-ring competition.

Batista would once again take to Instagram shortly after and post a lengthier message on his retirement. He would call WrestleMania 35 his story book ending.

Batista wrote, “To all the @wwe fans across the world that gave me the opportunity to suspend your disbelief, thank you. From the biggest part of my heart thank you for letting me entertain you. Tonight was my story book ending and I wanted to leave you with all I had to give. I’ll miss this theater of violence more than I can express in words but I am officially retiring from Sports Entertainment. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, I leave in great health, and without a doubt the show will go on. I had a hell of a run. Thank you for the journey”
