Batista “quit” WWE once again this past Monday night on “RAW” after getting in a disagreement with COO Triple H to open the show. He was upset over not having received his one-on-one match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after HHH insisted Evolution focus their attention on getting revenge against The Shield.

He will now head off and do promotional work for his Guardians of the Galaxy film.

Editor’s Note

If Batista truly didn’t believe that he could adapt to the PG environment WWE was establishing for itself, then why stay? He’s probably right in his assessment of himself over not being able to change with the times and tone down his style and gimmick. His future is in Hollywood and not in sports entertainment. It wouldn’t shock me to never see him compete in a wrestling ring again. There’s nothing else for him to do.
