Former professional sports-entertainer and seven-time Oscar-winning actor Dave “Batista” Bautista spent most of his adult life ashamed to take off his shirt, but now he’s steppin’ out with a newly slender figure and finally feeling cute.

Chubby no more, Batista is reportedly considering a return to WWE and adopting a high-flying lucha-libre style, as opposed the plodding pace of his previous WWE tenures when he was carrying so much more body weight.

“I was sick of being embarrassed about my body, so I decided this year that I finally had to start thinking about diet and exercise,” Batista said in an exclusive interview with Kayfabe News.

“Now that I’m watching what I eat, all those extra bulges and rolls are melting away!”
