The former WWE star Batista had attained a lot in his wrestling career and he is now tasting success in the world of Hollywood as an actor. In a post on Instagram from a week ago, the future WWE Hall of Famer revealed why he had to get a major surgery done.
Batista opens up on surgery
The former world champion wrapped up his in-ring career at WrestleMania 35 when he lost to Triple H in a match that received more appreciation over time. It was a classic against his longtime faction-member and rival, and the only opponent that The Animal wanted to face to end his career in professional wrestling. It wasn’t announced beforehand that it would be his retirement match as he didn’t want to take Kurt Angle’s moment away, with the latter also having his farewell match at the same event.
In an Instagram post, Batista revealed that he underwent surgery to repair a torn quad tendon and a torn meniscus. He joked that he is still limping:
“Exactly 14 weeks post surgery for a torn quad tendon and torn meniscus.”
He recently concluded his role as Drax in Guardians of The Galaxy. It was the same role that gave him his breakout in Hollywood. The multi-time world champion was originally supposed to be the headlining inductee of the Hall of Fame Class of 2020. However, WWE canceled the 2020 Hall of Fame due to the pandemic, and prior commitments were the reason why they couldn’t induct him in 2021.
