If it's true then it will be interesting to see how they handle his exit from TV as the most logical option seems to give Roman the rub by pinning him.Batista is apparently taking some time off after WWE's Extreme Rules pay-per-view as he is not currently being advertised for any WWE events after that show, including RAW the next night from Albany, NY. He is also not advertised for the big European tour that kicks off in May.
It was reported back when Batista signed with WWE that he was expected to take some time off to do promotional work for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy but that movie doesn't open until August 1st.
