Why Batista Was Pulled From Major Movie Role - Details

As reported earlier, Triple H has replaced Batista in WWE Studios' latest film, Killing Karma. Though Batista had been publicly announced for the lead role a few months back, a decision was made to pull him from the movie because he is nearing the end of his current contract and has yet to commit to a new deal. He is said to be furious over the company's decision.

Batista has been telling those close to him that he's pondering retirement from the wrestling industry in order to focus on acting. However, he's made similar statements in the past and would ultimately re-sign with the company. Though, there may be more to it this time as WWE was unable to re-sign him quickly enough to feel comfortable basing a movie project around him.
