WWE is Trying to Get Batista For Wrestlemania 32

WWE has been putting some serious thought into Wrestlemania 32 as of late. Tickets for the event have gone on sale, and WWE is working furiously on their plans because the Royal Rumble and Road to Wrestlemania at just around the corner.

The latest rumors that have been circling the event are John Cena vs. The Undertaker, Triple H vs. The Rock and possibly John Cena vs. Roman Reigns.

The news came yesterday that Ronda Rousey and The Rock will be unavailable to compete for Wrestlemania in Dallas because of obligations to filming schedules. Fortunately for WWE, those aren’t the only movie stars they’re talking with right now.

WWE is making a “Plan B, C, D and E” for Wrestlemania in Dallas. That entails trying to accumulate as much star power as possible for the event. Dave Bautista is apparently on the list of stars WWE is targeting.

Recently, Batista posted the following tweet about his wrestling career:

That tweet and Batista’s recent interviews on the subject have made many in the industry question the future of his wrestling career. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Dave Meltzer gave his two cents about the possibility of Batista appearing at WrestleMania 32:

“I don’t know if [Batista’s] schedule is going to allow him to [work WrestleMania]. Because Guardians of the Galaxy 2 starts filming in mid-January, and he’s in that movie, and he may have other things lined up after that. It’s possible. [Batista and WWE] have probably had some communication. But the movie people don’t exactly like WWE using these guys because of The Rock thing with Hercules when he got hurt, and they had to push the movie back several weeks.”

That sounds like speculation from Meltzer at best, but he’s got a point. One of the rumored reasons The Rock may not get back into the ring again is the issue of movie studio insurance policies.

It’s entirely possible that Batista’s success with “Guardians of the Galaxy” and now “Spectre” will prevent him from wrestling again, but that doesn’t mean The Animal couldn’t appear in a non-wrestling role in Dallas this April.
