Dave Bautista is currently one of the most well known former WWE stars of all time possibly ranking alongside the Rock, John Cena and Hulk Hogan. Creative differences with the company led to his WWE exit, while he also did not enjoy the PG product and the way that he was being booked.

He was released by the company and he walked away, but has since been on a great run, being a part of several blockbuster movies. His biggest role has been that of Drax in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series.

He also recently was a part of Hotel Artemus although he expressed interest in returning to the company at some point.
