“We really did have a good match. Batista had a chip on his shoulder. He wanted to go out and steal the show. He was the champion going into that match and he felt slighted that we weren’t in the main event. He was so motivated to go out there and steal the show. It was a lot of fun. I think that was one of his better matches and not just because of me but because of the motivation that he had. He was so in-tune and I remember coming back through the curtain after it was all over and he came back. I remember him yelling out in Gorilla, ‘Follow that!’ And I was thinking to myself, that’s cool, but you know, Shawn’s still got to work.”

The Undertaker and Batista would have more matches after their WrestleMania match and it remains one of Batista’s best feuds in his WWE career.
