Last night, WWE held
WrestleMania in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium and in one of the best matches of the night, Batista battled Triple H in a "No Holds Barred" match. It was a fun back and forth bout which saw the
Guardians of the Galaxy star have his nose ring torn out at one point (well, not really, but you know!).
Ultimately, though, a distraction from Ric Flair saw the Hollywood star lose to The Game and he's now taken to Instagram to confirm that he's retiring from the sports entertainment business.
It makes sense for this to have been his final match, especially as he's so busy making movies these days (Bautista is expected to star in both
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and
The Suicide Squad), but it's cool that he got to go out on his own terms and perform for his fans one final time. It's quite a contrast to Dwayne Johnson, who has seemingly left The Rock behind but is constantly rumoured to return.
Regardless of your interest (or lack thereof) in pro wrestling, it's fair to say that Bautista has done an amazing job of making the leap from performing in that world to becoming a bona fide actor.
