The esteemed Ohio Valley Wrestling Class of 2002, a group once comprised of Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Dave Bautista, has seen its numbers dwindle significantly. Now, only Randy Orton remains as a full-time competitor, with the others taking different paths. Lesnar has been out of the ring for more than a year, leaving his future in wrestling uncertain. Cena is preparing for a year-long farewell tour starting in 2025, marking his retirement from the sport. Bautista, who wrestled full-time as Batista for WWE between 2002 and 2010, has officially retired from competition, having bid adieu following his match with mentor Triple H at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019. Unlike Cena’s grand retirement tour, Bautista’s departure was a quiet exit into the sunset.
