He comes to compete. And he chose me. He doesn't wanna be in there with a pushover, he doesn't want an easy match. He chose me. Then, he chokeslammed me. The point is, I am here to compete.

[Undertaker fills an empty grave with dirt] Batista, at WrestleMania, your reign as champion will rest in peace.
