While in the Philippines recently to promote WWE, Batista was asked how much longer he saw himself wrestling. Batista, who just turned 40 this year (although his age has been speculated on for years now), said he had at least one year left and wanted to finish that year strong.

As reported on earlier, WWE was expecting Batista to be back in the ring sometime in May as of two weeks ago. This would be around three months earlier than originally expected after he underwent surgery to repair a hamstring tear.
