The 49-year-old admitted he won’t be returning at WrestleMania 34 but insists he still has a lot left in the tank and that is why he is not yet ready to join the Hall of Fame.

“I’ve been very vocal about that, you know, never say never, and this is why I haven’t accepted a nomination into the WWE Hall of Fame because I just don’t feel like my career is over.
“I still feel like I have plenty to offer, but now it’s just a scheduling issue and also a creative issue.
“So, never say never – I’d love to go back.”
Batista made his WWE debut in 2002 and got his big break a year later when he joined Evolution and teamed up with Triple H, Ric Flair and Randy Orton.
In 2005 The Animal won the Royal Rumble and beat his former mentor for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21 after falling out with the group.
After six world title reigns and some stunning WrestleMania performances against the likes of Undertaker and Cena the ex-WWE Tag Team Champion left Vince McMahon’s promotion in 2010 because he didn’t like the direction the company was going in.
Three years later The Animal returned and was set to win the 2014 Royal Rumble and beat Orton for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 30.

However, his comeback didn’t go well as fans were invested in Daniel Bryan and booed anyone else who got the spotlight instead of their favourite superstar.
Despite winning the Rumble, the crowd convinced management to have Bryan win the WWE title in a Triple Threat Match against Batista and Orton at Mania instead.
The two-time Royal Rumble winner left again shortly after and has since been enjoying an impressive career in Hollywood that has seen him star in huge blockbuster films, such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Spectre.
