TampaBay.com has an interview with Batista at this link, who was discussing the success of Guardians of the Galaxy. During the interview, Batista was asked about temporarily leaving WWE.
“I put it aside for now, and that really had a lot to do with my obligations to Marvel,” he said. “But it also had to do with the fact that (the WWE and I) weren’t seeing eye-to-eye, creatively. The stuff they were doing with story lines just didn’t make sense to me. … I’d love to go back. I’m a professional wrestler at heart and I miss it. But I want to be there and be happy with what I’m doing.”
