Arguably no other WWE star has been able to cultivate the sheer level of high quality and often varied work as Dave Bautista has since deciding to focus more on the world of acting than that of dumping blokes through miscellaneous objects.

From his outstanding turns as Drax the Destroyer in the MCU to scene-stealing appearances in Blade Runner 2049 and Dune, big Dave has proven that you don't simply have to confine yourself to big budget action romps or B-movie fighting flicks on the back of making your name in Vinnie Mac's empire. And in another instance of the former WWE Champion forging his own path, acting as an executive producer on a flick for the first time in his career, Bautista was able to add a cute callback to his Animal days into the movie mix in 2017's action thriller Bushwick.

Coming as the monstrous star beats the p*ss out of a dude in a kitchen, instead of simply battering the guy to a pulp into the fridge, the former Evolution man hoists them up and wallops them into the wood with a monumental Spinebuster. These faceless goobers will never learn, will they?
