WWE has released a new video featuring Dave “Batista” Bautista backstage at the Royal Rumble back in 2014, when he made his return to WWE. The video was posted to promote “Batista – The Animal Unleashed”, which is currently available on WWE Network.
During the following clip, Batista had the following to say on why he returned to WWE:
“The biggest reason for me to come back is just that I’ve always wanted to be undisputed heavyweight champ. After I became heavyweight champ multiple times…where do I go from here? There’s not many places I can go, you know, being at the top. But, I could take that next step up and just be undisputed heavyweight champ. And that was the only place to go, and it’s always been my goal for years and years. I reached out, talked to a couple people and this was kind of the kickoff match, this is where it starts, the Royal Rumble.”
