In an update on Evolution vs. The Shield at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view, it appears as if the storyline will be a short one as Batista is not currently being advertised for any WWE events after the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, indicating that he may be taking some time off from the company.

The former WWE Champion is expected to take the time off to do promotional work for Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy movie, which opens in cinemas this August.
