In an update on former WWE Champion Dave Bautista being advertised for the February 16th, 2014 WWE Live event at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, all advertisements featuring Batista’s possible return to the company have been quietly removed, while a tweet from Phoenix Suns VP of Digital Jeramie McPeek has also been removed, which previously stated that Batista would be appearing at the February 15th, 2014 WWE Live event in Phoenix, Arizona.

WWE officials are said to be angry that Batista’s return to the company was leaked online on Friday night, as promotional information had been sent to the venues in advance of the busy holiday period and when information became public knowledge on Friday, the company asked for the promotional information to remove Batista’s name as being advertised for the event.

As mentioned previously on the site, the expectation is that Batista will be back around the time of the 2014 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view and will work the WrestleMania 30 pay-per-view next year in New Orleans, Louisiana.
