Batista recently said he wants to return to WWE but doesn't want to accept an invitation into the WWE Hall of Fame become he doesn't feel like his career is over yet. He said: “I would love to go back. I’ve been very vocal about that. Never say never.” 

“This is why I haven’t accepted any nomination into the WWE Hall of Fame. I just don’t feel like my career is over. I feel like I have plenty to offer but now it’s a scheduling issue and it’s also a creative issue. Never say never. I’d love to go back.”
