Batista got what he wanted at WrestleMania, and now he's ready to call it quits.

In a heartfelt message to the WWE Universe posted to his Twitter page late Sunday night, Batista stated that he's officially retired from sports-entertainment.

The revelation came just hours after The Animal's defeat in a brutal No Holds Barred Match against Triple H on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

@WWEUniverse Thank you for letting me entertain you. I love this business and whether you cheered me or jeered me, I’m grateful for being a small part of your life. I am officially retired from sports entertainment and I am grateful for every second of my amazing journey ✌🏼 — Shadow Person Dave Bautista (@DaveBautista) April 8, 2019
