Batista’s future with WWE is a big topic in WWE, according to a PWInsider report. Originally he was thought to be returning after the promotion died down for Guardians of the Galaxy. That was supposed to be shortly after SummerSlam. After the massive success of that movie, his career as a full timer in the company may be over.
Another thing that plays a factor in all of this is the risk of him suffering an injury and at his age he may be more prone to injuries than a younger guy and that’s not something movie studios would want to deal with. As noted before, he is already set to reprise his role as Drax The Destroyer on Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It’s expected that he will get more major movie offers and he’s no longer looked at as an actor who will only appear in lower budget films.
Flimsy report that anyone of us could come up with for a thread, but the speculation may prove true....What do you do with Batista? I think he still has a year on a contract, but would he, and the company risk injuries that could derail his rising movie career and hurt the companies chances at luring athletes looking to get famous through them.
Also, fuck them for acting like Riddick and Man With The Iron Fists were low budget.
I would bring him back in a face fashion sometime around Survivor Series by beating up fake movie star Miz, the he turns heel on everyone by taking out Ambrose, Reigns and Daniel Bryan(if available) in the Rumble and win another Rumble....Heat amiryt? He faces Lesnar, who by then would be so dominant that it would turn him face and we get a match that has never happened at the biggest stage of them all, Batista is in his dickish heel glory.....win/win.
