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.
Pro wrestling veteran Kenny Bolin recently revealed that he banned Batista’s ex-wife Angie from attending OVW shows. At the time, Batista was an upcoming star in the making, and Jim Cornette, the promotion’s booker, did not want his perceived heel prospect to receive cheers. Bolin spoke about this on Rene Dupree’s Cafe de Rene podcast.
“She actually got banned from OVW. Jimmy banned her. He banned her because she was cheering for the heel.”
