MrBeast recently organized a charitable initiative that involved saving 100 rescued dogs. He also received the help of WWE legend Dave Bautista. While fans applauded the involvement of The Animal, what caught fans’ attention was the seemingly deteriorated state of the former WWE Champion. Wrestling veteran Bill Apter recently addressed the issue regarding Batista’s changed physique on WrestleBinge.

One of the participants, Mac Davis, asked others whether they had seen the recent picture of Batista. Davis suggested that it could either be a change made for an upcoming role in a movie or because of aging concerns. Apter acknowledged seeing the picture and affirmed Davis’ understanding of body transformation for a role.
