5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know (February 17th, 2019)

#1 Batista. WWE through and through

Batista is not interested in competing for All Elite Wrestling according to the Observer.

When the WWE Universe first saw Batista in 2002, few could've expected the incredible career he'd have.

Debuting as the deacon of Reverend D-Von, Batista won his first World Champion in 2005, and outside of WWE has become a leading man in Hollywood.

And despite rumors of the Animal joining AEW, Batista has said he only wants to wrestle for WWE, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Despite his last in-ring run in 2014 being heavily criticized, the Animal does reportedly want to wrestle in WWE again.

A rumored match with Triple H was hinted at on SmackDown 1000, though that is up in the air due to the Game's pectoral injury he suffered at Crown Jewel.

With Triple H being allowed to train again though, this match may still happen.
