Dave Bautista doesn't speak in glowing terms about his latest WWE run. Known as 'Batista' on television, the man was not welcomed back in a wholly positive way by the promotion's fans in 2014. The reasons for this are various, but will be explored in this article, which looks at Batista's career. Overall, Batista has captured 4 different title belts in WWE. In addition to being a 2-time WWE and 4-time World Heavyweight Champion, he has also held both the WWE Tag-Team and World Tag-Team Titles on 4 differing occasions. Alongside those prizes, the behemoth has also won the annual Royal Rumble match twice and main evented WrestleMania. He's pretty much done it all in WWE and there's little left to achieve there. Nowadays, Dave can be found starring in moves such as Guardians Of The Galaxy and the new James Bond film, Spectre. These are big roles for Batista, who seems to have found his place in Hollywood. That makes it altogether more difficult to imagine him making a comeback to pro wrestling in the near future. This article explores the man's entire main roster career, from his first appearances on Smackdown, to the winning of several World Championships. Along the way, Batista has headlined countless PPVs and feuded with many of the biggest stars in the wrestling world. This is the evolution of 'The Animal'.
