Batista turned down a Mania 32 Appearance

[puppetmaster]

Former WWE Superstar Batista has apparently turned down a recent offer from WWE to appear in a non-wrestling role at this year's WrestleMania 32 event in April.

Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting that while backstage at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in Orlando on Sunday, Batista met with Vince McMahon, who offered the former WWE Champion a "guest appearance" gig at WrestleMania 32.

Batista, who reportedly turned down the offer, has been outspoken about the WWE creative process since his most recent run with the company was changed as it went along due to the growing popularity of Daniel Bryan and "The Yes! Movement."

Batista told HeyUGuys in an interview last April that he is open to wrestling for WWE one day, but only at live events, since WWE's scripts "aren't that great."

wow. DC Dave is over it. Getting too much $$ to get booed by a bunch of fat people

 

[Heelish]

I don't blame him as they had him come back as a face and fukked up his return At least we got 2 classic Shield/Evolution matches and the best WM ending out of it

It was screamingly obvious they got it wrong, with everything they were showing on TV at the time.

Could be a swerve, but I can't be mad if he decided to stay away. Second biggest mainstream star they've got right now, too.

They're going to be so if they can't get him to come in around 'Avengers Infinity War'

 

[SirMo]

They booked him to come back as a babyface... but who's idea was the jacket he wore?

It should have been heel, leather jacket, shade and a town which wasn't shyt.

Vince's writers are incompetent and it's even easier to see after you've worked for someone like James Gunn. Batista is a star now. good for him

 

[Norrin Radd]

I'm glad Dave got out and made it.

 

[Lord Scion]

Vince should be thanking his lucky stars the Rock at least came back, because he would be feeling some kind of way if both Rock and Batista decided to pull a 'No Cokeboy ' after they starred a billion dollar grossing franchises.

 

[Da King]

Trill nikka getting that Disney/Marvel/Bond money, he doesn't need to crawl back to hear "you can't wrassle" chants from virgin neckbeards like @mrken12

 

[KendoNagasaki]

That Marvel Money

 

[MushroomX]

TNT don't need to come back, the man is set for life in Hollywood. Vince is just probably wanting him back so he can fire him so he can get the last laugh.

I love how he didn't try to force a face run when he knew that shyt wouldn't work, unlike how they're doing Reigns now

 

[Vice Queen]

I don't blame him at all.

 

[mr x]

Just visiting at the rumble I guess.
