Batista teased one more match
A host of WWE legends, including Batista, Rey Mysterio and The Undertaker, all returned to for the thousandth edition of WWE’s second show Smackdown.
WWE Smackdown launched all the way back in April 1999, as a companion to the flagship show Raw.
And for this big milestone, they pulled out most of the stops, bringing back a load of big names.
Biggest of all was real actual movie Dave Bautista, aka Batista, who had an Evolution reunion with Ric Flair, Triple H and Randy Orton.
