Batista goes off on WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump
Batista has been away from WWE, but The Animal hasn't forgotten to cut a promo. Recently, the former World Heavyweight Champion went off on Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Batista has been busy as an actor, and The Animal has been working on various projects. The 55-year-old wrestler-turned-actor hasn't shied away from expressing his views or standing by his beliefs, whether it is inside or outside the squared circle.
Recently, The Animal performed a skit at Jimmy Kimmel Live where he went off on Donald Trump. The former WWE World Champion pointed out several notable and hilarious points regarding Trump's choices and public behavior. Batista also made some remarks on Trump's past choices and physical appearance:
"Trump gets his masculinity checked by the manliest Avenger of all!" Kimmel wrote.
Check out the entire skit below:
And yes, Donald Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 by Vince McMahon for their 'Battle of The Billionaires' storyline from 2007.
Donald Trump and Batista were once active in WWE at the same time
In 2007, Donald Trump appeared for the Stamford-based promotion, which eventually became a heated feud against Vince McMahon. The former President of the United States went head-to-head with the former CEO of WWE.
However, the two didn't get physical in the ring and had a representative for a match at The Showcase of the Immortals. Vince McMahon backed Umaga, and Donald Trump went with Bobby Lashley.
Later, Stone Cold Steve Austin got involved in the feud and became the special guest referee for the upcoming match at WrestleMania 23 between Lashley and Umaga, which was labeled as the Battle of the Billionaires.
The stakes were much higher than expected as both billionaires put their hair on the line for the event. In the end, Bobby Lashley won, and Vince McMahon's head was shaved off in public by Lashley, Donald Trump, and Steve Austin.
Meanwhile, Batista entered the show as the World Heavyweight Champion of WWE SmackDown. The Animal went head-to-head with The Undertaker and lost the title to The Deadman at The Showcase of the Immortals in Michigan.
In the coming years, Trump made a few sporadic appearances for the Stamford-based company. Later, Vince McMahon inducted him into the Hall of Fame in 2013. Elsewhere, Batista left the promotion in 2010 and made two short stints in the coming years.
