Backstage News: Mickie James-Batista Issues - Shocking Rib

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

In light of news of Mickie James' release from WWE last month, it was noted that she had few "run-ins" with Batista. During her final few months in the company, things become so heated that he threatened to quit if she wasn't fired. At one point, The Undertaker had to step in to calm him down.

The two have past history as Brian Kendrick noted during a shoot interview with Highspots.com that years ago, Batista printed out nude photos of Mickie and plastered them on the locker room walls after he became agitated with her.
