Batista has been in talks with WWE for a match at WrestleMania 35, but AEW is also interested in him, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet.
Batista is “deep in talks” with WWE about a return for a WrestleMania match, but at this point, he’s “50/50” on whether or not to return, Pro Wrestling Sheet says.
All Elite Wrestling has also expressed interest in him and Batista is reportedly listening to what both companies have to offer.
WWE had been planning a Batista vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania, but it’s not known if Triple H will be ready to return in time from his torn pectoral muscle. Batista last appeared on WWE TV at SmackDown 1000, where WWE planted the seeds for a Batista vs. Triple H match. If Triple H isn’t able to go, a match against other former Evolution stablemate Randy Orton could maybe be another possibility, but that’s just speculation.
