“So good seeing my good friend @davebautista. And Yes I will give you a title shot if you ever return! [smile emoji] [fist emoji]. Nevertheless Congrats on all your successes brotha,” Lashley wrote.

Till now, no response has been received from Batista to Lashley’s comments. He’s not probably interested in making a return to the squared circle considering how busy he is these days with his Hollywood career. The WrestleMania 35 showdown with Triple H admittedly wrapped up his career, for good. The Animal has shown no intention of coming back after such a grand farewell.
