Exclusive: Dave Bautista on whether there’s any acting rivalry between himself, Dwayne Johnson and John Cena

September 8, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Unlike the vast majority of pro wrestlers who’ve attempted to make the jump to the big screen only to find themselves consigned to the bottom shelf of the straight-to-video market, Dave Bautista has been enjoying some big success and critical praise with his fledgling acting career.
