The Real Reason Batista Left WWE Inside Here

As noted earlier, Batista was in attendance at Wednesday night's Strikeforce: Los Angeles event. Dave spoke with a news reporter at the event about leaving WWE. He stated that he left the company because he was unhappy with the direction the company was going, and that it wasn't the wrestling that he enjoyed (mentioning the Rock/Austin era).

Batista also noted that he did not see himself going back anytime soon, but he did not rule it out. Batista said that he was in LA looking for work, and that he was unemployed.

Batista has shown interest in MMA, and has done some training, but at his age, going into an MMA career isn't very likely.

so that crying he did in the wheelchair was real?

It has been long rumored that he might have his sights on a possible future in Mixed Martial Arts. Batista noticeably lost some weight since his departure from the company and that would make some sense if he definitely believes it’s a possibility. Due to his lack of overall athleticism and his age, it definitely would draw some concerns, if he indeed decides to pursue the sport further.

I think there's a good chance he may get into MMA. If I were him I wouldn't let that body go to waste, nuh uh.

Go batista...go into MMA....go far far away from WWE

i support you doing anything that doesnt involve being in the WWE lol

Hasn't he signed a 2 yr deal with that company Victoria/Lesnar with?

Victoria isn't with any MMA company, and Lesnar is with UFC, they wouldn't take Batista

rumor is he was offered 2 fights with strike force

Does anyone actually miss him?

^Nope. It's better with him gone

Blue probably misses him

I liked his last few months tbh, it was probably for the best that he left though.

The only positive thing I can say is I liked his last night there. I do gotta admit he was funny as hell. "What is your malfunction? I am hurt, I can't compete and you can't make me!"

Just based on what he referred to about not being happy about where the company is headed, I don't blame him. He broke in during the time when Rock and Austin were still around. The crazy violent and sexual themes were reduces, but now the WWE is 1980s revisited as they pander to little kids with haha giggle giggle moments and gimmicks.

I hope he doesnt come back either.
