Batista’s final run in WWE before his retirement was against Triple H which culminated at Wrestlemania 35 a couple of years ago. One of the most popular lines during that feud saw Batista telling Triple H to give him what he wanted over and over again. Batista was also supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame last year but due to timing issues and scheduling conflicts, it did not end up happening. WWE also paid huge money for the return of Batista.
While Dave Bautista was supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020, this did not happen due to the worldwide pandemic and due to previous obligations on Batista’s end. However, fans have been clamoring for ‘The Animal’ to get his due and to be inducted as quickly as possible.
Former WWE Superstar Shelly Martinez had a lot of beef with Batista as well. Speaking to WSI’s James Romero, Martinez explained that Batista called her a “d**chebag” during WrestleMania weekend in front of other wrestlers’ families.
“The hotel — they had a separate elevator that we can use so that the fans couldn’t have access to us. So I was in the elevator. It was a couple of wrestlers in there with their family and Dave [Batista]. I was like, ‘Oh, great,’ ’cause I was the first one to get off the elevator. I was like, ‘What am I supposed to say?’ So I said, ‘Okay bye everyone, have a good day.’ And as the doors were closing, he went, ‘D**chebag [coughs].’ I was like, ‘Come on!'”
