Batista Out Until Summer 09?
Batista is expected to miss several months
of ring time with a torn hamstring, according to Mike Johnson of
PWInsider.com. The injury is serious enough that he is expected to
undergo surgery soon. The initial prognosis is that he will be out of
action until June at the earliest, meaning he is expected to miss
WrestleMania 25.
Batista is expected to miss several months and will be undergoing surgery shortly, according to several sources within the company. The Randy Orton punt kick to the head last week was the storyline reason for Batista’s disappearance from the company.
There’s no word whether the company will acknowledge the legitimate reason for Batista’s absence or will just put the heat on Randy Orton.
Batista’s hamstring began giving him problems during the most recent European tour and has worsened since. This would be Batista’s third major muscle tear, as he’s had previous tears to the lat muscles in his back as and his triceps in 2006.
Word within the company is that as of now, they aren’t expecting Batista back until June at the earliest. Worst case scenario being August. All Wrestlemania plans involving him are out the window for now. That certainly puts momentum towards Cena defending the World title against Randy Orton at the company’s flagship PPV.
