- Dave Meltzer is reporting that Extreme Rules was never the PPV event Batista was due to be wrote out of storylines and he is expected to finish up at the Over The Limit PPV on May 23rd.

So basically, one more month then.

I know it was only reported that Batista was leaving WWE soon, but I wonder when WWE knew about it. I remember those win % statistics and Batista surprisingly had one of the worst win %s out of the entire roster and I wonder if the WWE knew all along and kept making him lose and basically put over other guys before he leaves.

Over The Limit is similar to Over The Edge so could they write him out of WWE with him falling from a wire? Jokz, I find that disheartening too but I could not help out.

In an interview last summer, he talked about leaving wrestling soon and then he got hurt....again. My guess is they were embarassed by Jeff Hardy's is he leaving, is he staying shit and then have been preparing for Batista to leave.

I think it's possible that they're "inciting" Batista to leave, or at least, they're facilitating his decision. Since he seems decided to pursue his acting career, they've now done pretty much everything to weaken his position as main eventer, going into Over the Limit.

It's funny though how WWE are really taking diametrically opposed stances on workers leaving the company. Remember when RVD left the company how Vince did everything to keep him in, including going over Randy Orton in his last "regular" WWE match? Now, it's like they're begging for Batista to quit.

Hmm, I hope they give him a few big wins before he leaves, though. I know WWE probably aren't happy with the decision, but Batista has brought a lot to the company over the last few years... the least he deserves is to go out on a high.
