Batista done with WWE

[Trip in the Head]

Title pretty much explains it all. I thought I saw a post the other day about someone wondering about Batista news (D'Z maybe?). Well, there ya go.

There have been multiple reports that former WWE superstar turned actor Batista is done with WWE and with pro wrestling altogether due to his success outside of the professional wrestling business.


Several weeks ago, it was reported that WWE was courting Batista for a retirement match at WrestleMania 31. However, Batista has always said that if he was going to have a retirement match, he would want it to be against Triple H, and by the looks of things, Triple H will be busy with Sting at this year’s WrestleMania.

When Batista returned to WWE at this time last year, he was promised the WWE championship. However, due to the meteoric rise of Daniel Bryan, plans were changed, and due to those changes, Batista grew frustrated with WWE, even though WWE was doing the right thing. Due to his frustration, Batista left the company earlier than expected and refused to lose to Daniel Bryan on his way out.

Batista appeared on Chris Jericho’s podcast several months ago and somewhat reinforced his strong stance against WWE’s PG product. He told Jericho that he felt like WWE was taking all of the wrestlers’ tools away, and they were making it way more difficult to do their jobs successfully.

At this moment, due to his performance in Guardians of the Galaxy, Batista is having a good deal of success in Hollywood,and is currently on-set as the filming of Kickboxer: Vengeance is underway. In the film that also stars legendary action star Jean-Claude Van Damme, MMA star Gina Carano and former UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, Batista is playing the lead villain Tong Po.

Batista — who will turn 46 in just a couple of days — likely will not be returning to WWE to be part of this year’s WrestleMania 31, and there’s a pretty good chance that he has wrestled his last match as he wants to completely focus on his new career as an actor. However, there is a chance that he could return for next year’s WrestleMania 32 and compete in a retirement match against his mentor Triple H.

WWE does want Batista back, but as of right now, the feeling isn’t mutual. Batista doesn’t have any ill-will towards WWE, but due to his age, he wants to move away from wrestling and focus on becoming even more successful in Hollywood.

Sounds that way

Sounds that way

Oh well...

Although, I'd love to hear another one of his awesome 'I Quit!' moments, as well as seeing another magic heel run.

:downer: I grilled his face run but he was a legendary heel. I am disappoint somewhat

 

[Majour]

I've been missing heel Batista since he left, kind of gutted about this...a little.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Thank God he came back to win the Rumble last year. Excellent booking decision as always WWE

 

[Aids Johnson]

Who the hell wrote that piece of crap? He isn't coming back, he wasn't down with not winning the belt...so more than likely is done with WWE unless he has his retirement match vs HHH, which could happen next year.

How many times does that need to be repeated in one piece?

 

[Roadster]

I really liked his heel run last year. Sucks that he ain't coming back anytime soon.

Also, I thought CM Punk said that Batista supported Bryan during that time? Why would he refuse to give him a rub if he knew he should win the title at WrestleMania?

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I'd like to see one more small run ending in a retirement match but hey that's his call I suppose.

As much as I hate Batista, having him come back now and Bsatista Bomb DB out of no where......would be awesome....this should happen after the RR event of course and lead to a match with them at Mania. It would be a good match I think.

A match with DB, Lesnar and/or Ziggler would have been nice but honestly, WWE messed up his return and that probably left a sour taste in Batista's mouth. I thought he was at a decent level back at WM30, after being a bit mediocre, he found himself and the douchy heel persona we all know and love. Heck, Ziggler vs Batista for the IC title would have been pretty fun just because Ziggler beating douchy guys is fun.

Batista is a hell of a wrestler and he loves the business. His success in acting is well deserved, Drax The Destroyer was amazing. The dry humor is not easy to pull off. Now he gets a role in 007, so I'm sure it's in his best interest to continue pursuing his acting career.

That said I am sure he will return down the road and pop the crowd with a Batista Bomb.... unless of course the crowd are filled with the neckbeards that gave him shit on his last run.

look it up on the network, he had a good couple matches with Ziggler on Smackdown. They had really good chemistry. Ziggler selling like a mofo of course.
