10 WWE Employees Triple H Should Be Pissed At Right Now
2. Dave Batista
Ohhh, Big Dave. The second most offending man (besides Brock Lesnar) of WWE's "let's (likely) pay you a ton of money to do minimal work but use your name to get the rub for our product club" is actor Dave Bautista who came back to WWE not in in-ring condition, blew his plum position in the Royal Rumble so badly that he was booed for winning (not the scripted conclusion, by far), then proceeded to appear dismissive and disinterested in WWE until - you guessed it - Wrestlemania - the show where he stood to earn his biggest paycheck. Post mania, Batista famously wore what could be described as a "no f***s given" all blue outfit for his final (to-date) WWE appearance, sticking out like a sore thumb with one foot out of the door at Payback 2014. In arguably being a negligible influence as a performer during his ballyhooed return, Dave Batista (give that he's supposedly a good friend of Triple H's) is likely one of the easiest people for Hunter to reach out and give a good pissed off smacking.
