On Monday, it was reported that AEW had expressed interest in Batista and he was currently listening to what both WWE and AEW had to offer.
Today, Chris Jericho posted this photo of himself having a “killer hang” with Batista.
Batista has been in deep talks with WWE about a return run and a match at WrestleMania. PWInsider reported that Batista and WWE had a meeting last Thursday. The expectation was that Batista would wrestle Triple H at WrestleMania, but Triple H tore his pectoral muscle at Crown Jewel in November and it’s not known if he’ll be ready in time.
