3 major things Batista has done since his last WWE match

#1 Become a top Hollywood star

Less brain, more muscles

Before 2014, Batista had already starred in six movies. Out of those, he had major roles in at least three movies and had been the frontman of at least two movies. That was already a good portfolio to show how successful his acting career was getting.

However, it was the time after he took a break from wrestling and decided to completely focus on his acting career that he became one of the top Hollywood stars out there.

In 2014, after competing in his last match in June, Batista’s most notable movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, was released in July. Batista starred in the movie as a part of the pact, playing the character of Drax the Destroyer.

Since then, Batista has already starred in at least twenty more movies, with Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and the Avengers movies being the most successful ones in his portfolio.

Just like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, it seems like time away from the ring has surely helped the wrestling superstar become a silver screen megastar!
