- The word within the WWE locker room in Baltimore, which plays host to tonight’s WWE Extreme Rules PPV, is that Batista will be finishing up with the company this week. Batista is set to challenge John Cena tonight in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE Championship.

Batista made headlines dating back to this past January when he made it known he was ready to retire within the year, after being burnt out and his aspirations to become a movie star. A majority of the WWE crew arrived early this weekend in Baltimore for the PPV and those within the backstage area believe Batista’s career in the WWE will come to an end shortly after the show.

While this all remains speculation, there is great belief that Batista will indeed retire from the ring.

Sounds like he is more upset about WWE giving that movie role to HHH.  I wonder how many people saw "Wrong Side of town" ?

I did. He's in the movie for literally 10 minutes. It's RVD's movie. If you see it you can understand why Rob was so pissed when he saw the DVD cover.

Was the movie as bad as reviews have suggested?

Incidently on the subject of Batista retiring, now would actually be a bad time, his character is the freshest it has been in years, this heel run has been superb.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that although it is believed by many that the Over the Limit PPV will be Batista's final appearance with WWE, it is not yet 100% certain that he will be leaving the company at that time.

As we previously reported, Batista was said to be livid that WWE took him off an upcoming WWE Studios film and replaced him with Triple H, however, that does not mean he is definitely going to leave the company. It's being said that he is keeping his options open, and that while TNA might be interested in bringing him into the company, it's highly unlikely he'll jump ship as it would most likely be impossible for TNA to pay him what he's making in WWE right now.
