Batista salary

During the peak of his WWE career, Batista was reportedly earning roughly around $813,000 on an annual basis. This was the annual estimate that Batista was entitled to. It does not include merchandise sales and bonuses from headlining pay-per-view events. Interestingly, Batista had been dominating merchandise sales at the time along with John Cena.

What’s next for Dave Batista?

After making millions of dollars as a pro wrestler, Batista went on to try his luck in Hollywood as an actor. His WWE career has since taken a backseat and the former WWE champion has been experiencing some success in Hollywood. He has acted in numerous high-grossing films. He reportedly raked in $1.4 million for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy. He also bagged $1 million for starring in the James Bond film Spectre.

Batista has also tried his hand at mixed martial arts. However, despite the win, he failed to make his mark in his debut fight. It was far from a convincing performance from the former WWE star. After years of parting ways with the WWE, Batista made a comeback to the WWE at Wrestlemania 35 in his retirement match. The soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer Batista is now gearing up to co-star alongside Jason Momoa in the second season of Apple TV+’s drama See, as first reported by Deadline.
