When Batista left WWE in 2010, he moved to Hollywood to become an actor. However, it did not turn out well initially, as he only did four movies, which did not do well at the Box Office. Dave Bautista revealed that he was shattered and lost everything in those years. His savings from WWE had been used up, and Batista had no money to spend towards the end.

While talking to IGN, the former Champion revealed, “And when I got the role of Drax in Guardians, I barely worked in three years. So I’d really left wrestling behind, and I could have gone back with my tail between my legs, but I still [would] have been just stuck in a place that I never would have gone any further, but I just took a chance.”

Therefore, he was grateful for getting the role of Drax, as it turned his life around. Not only did it give his career a boost, but the role also made him a lot of money, which allowed him to buy his house back and get his life back on track. Since Guardians Of The Galaxy, Batista has become one of the most successful actors in Hollywood. He has multiple movies lined up for the coming years.
