Dave Bautista has recently been in the spotlight due to the promotion of his upcoming movie, The Killer’s Game. Many fans were excited to see him after a long time away from the wrestling business. However, there’s one more thing the WWE Universe can’t stop talking about: his recent look and appearance.

Recently, The Animal took to social media to share an old picture of himself with his hair. Many WWE fans were surprised by his current look, as they were used to seeing him with less or no hair. Additionally, the WWE Universe expressed significant concern about his body weight, noting that he appeared quite slim at the movie premiere. Dave Bautista revealed that it was the lightest he had been since he was 19.

Batista’s film will be released on September 13th, in which he plays the role of a veteran assassin. Popular WWE superstar Drew McIntyre also has a cameo role in the movie and thanked the future Hall of Famer for giving him the opportunity. Meanwhile, other wrestlers, including Bayley and Mercedes Mone, showed their support by attending the premiere.

Many wrestling fans want to see the former World Heavyweight Champion return to WWE. However, Batista admitted that he was content with the way he retired from the business. His last match was against his mentor Triple H at WrestleMania 35, which he lost as a heel. Only time will tell whether fans will see him appear on WWE programming in the near future.
