Batista teased one more match.

A host of WWE legends, including Batista, Rey Mysterio and The Undertaker, all returned to for the thousandth edition of WWE’s Smackdown.

WWE Smackdown launched all the way back in April 1999, as a companion to the flagship show Raw.

And for this big milestone, they pulled out most of the stops, bringing back a load of big names.

Biggest of all was real actual movie Dave Bautista, aka Batista, who had an Evolution reunion with Ric Flair, Triple H and Randy Orton.

Batista is rumoured to be signed on for a longer run, and teased a confrontation with Triple H.

Rey Mysterio made his return to Smackdown, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura.

The Undertaker made an appearance, hyping up his match at the controversial Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia.

Edge returned to host an interview segment with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

Vince McMahon also danced for some reason.
