• Batista ditched WWE for Hollywood for good after Wrestlemania 35 in 2019
• Bobby Lashley has been one of the company's A-list performers since his return in 2018
• He is teasing a return of The Animal after admitting he would love one match with him

World Wrestling Entertainment could take advantage of Bobby Lashley's recent comments about 'one match' to bring back one of their legends out of retirement, who retired in 2019.

Lashley spent ten years away from the WWE after he was released in 2008 and returned to the company in 2018. He has been one of the company's A-list performers since his return.

The 47-year-old has held the Intercontinental Championship, WWE Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship since his return and has had feuds with other top stars including Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.

The former US military man is a future hall of famer but is not satisfied as he wants one match with one of the company's greatest wrestlers of all time - Batista.

"Dave [Batista] is definitely somebody I would love to have a match with. It would be something that would do some huge box office numbers," he said on Perform Podcast.

"You want to bring somebody like him back. If we can, I know it would be a great match up."

The Animal has been turning it up in Hollywood since he announced retirement after losing a single match to former ally and friend Triple H at Wrestlemania 35.

Wrestle Purists added that the 54-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star twice turned down Hall of Fame opportunities due to engagements, and the company is open to rightfully inducting him at a later date.

Sports Brief reported that the legendary Big Show spoke on his weight issues after battling hard to lose over 60kg. Paul Wight was one of the company's big guys alongside Mark Henry for years.

The 51-year-old revealed his weight issue was a result of a large intake of calories, which sometimes could be as high as 18,000 per day, as he ate too much of everything he could lay his hands on.
