Batista reacts to WWE nixing major stable's reunion

Batista has been away from WWE for a while, but The Animal has never been shy of sharing his opinion on the current product. Recently, he reacted to MVP's statements regarding The Hurt Business.

The Hurt Business was once a major stable on Monday Night RAW as the faction organically became quite popular amongst the fans. The group arrived way before The Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown and won championship gold as several stars were elevated on the roster.

Recently, MVP claimed Triple H's new regime scrapped plans for The Hurt Business' reunion in WWE. Later, Batista supported MVP's claims and seemed to agree with the former United States Champion, stating the company left money on the table by not reuniting them.

"They left a lot of money on the table with that one. Color me confused!" Batista wrote.

There were hints of a potential reunion at the beginning of 2023. However, nothing ever transpired from it, and the stars eventually ended up on different brands following the annual WWE Draft.

Major WWE star recalls how Batista offered him a role in his upcoming flick

Drew McIntyre had one of the worst years in terms of kayfabe, as the star was robbed of opportunities in the company on several occasions. Moreover, CM Punk started to hunt The Scottish Warrior after The Second City Saint got injured, and McIntyre made it personal.

However, the two-time WWE Champion is set to make his big screen debut alongside Dave Bautista in The Killer's Game. During an interview with Irish Wrestling & Entertainment, McIntyre detailed how Dave offered him to play a part, as he perfectly fit the required description.

"Dave [Bautista] called me and asked me if I wanted to be a part of it. I believe a conversation with the director came up looking for a couple of characters, who are hitmen. We needed somebody who looked like he could physically take on Dave and who's Scottish and sometimes unintelligent when he talks, with a bit of comedic side. And Dave says I know that guy; he actually exists, he's called Drew [McIntyre]," McIntyre said. [2:25 - 2:55]

Check out the video below:

The movie is set to release in September 2023. Drew McIntyre plays the key role of a Scottish hitman who's set to go after Dave Bautista in the film.
