- Sheamus trains with Batista in this new video from his Celtic Warrior Workouts YouTube channel. The 82nd episode features The Celtic Warrior and The Animal doing a MMA workout together at Batista's gym in Tampa, Florida.

Sheamus wrote in the video description, "WWE Superstar Sheamus aka The Celtic Warrior here... Sometimes my job is a combination of working & working-out with colleagues who I also happen to be a massive fan of... case-in-point Dave Bautista aka The Animal Batista. Before my WWE career I watched this guy tearing-up the ring, and now he's part of the Marvel Universe, I watch him tearing-up the big screen as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. So getting to do a Brave Change workout with Big Dave was awesome for so many reasons. So much so, I took a ten hour drive from Nashville to Tampa to hook-up with The Animal who was on his first day back in the gym, getting-back into MMA with his coach Josh Rafferty. So the theme of our workout was Easing Back To The Gym After A Break which is a very important part of training no matter what the discipline. The the temptation to crush-it on your first day back at the gym after a prolonged break is the worst game plan ever. You gotta ease back into it, especially as you get older. Word to the wise kids, and all those in a rush to... Brave Change."
