Cm Punk is keeping busy in his post WWE life. In addition to training for an upcoming Ufc fight, he’s also writing comic books and baseball stories as well. One of his comic book writing projects deals with the story of Drax the Destroyer from the Guardians of the Galaxy series.
Punk’s fellow former WWE friend Dave Bautista played Drax in the Guardians movie that was really successful and will be reprising the role in the sequel.
During an interview with SBNation, Punk revealed that he has talked to Batista about how he’s writing for Drax: “I texted Dave [Bautista] right away. ‘Dude, I’m gonna be writing the Drax comic book!’ [laughs] And he was like, ‘No way!’ So yeah, it’s definitely bizarre. It’s almost one of those stories where you wouldn’t be able to make this up.”

According to The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, former WWE superstar Dave Batista has been working hard to return to ‘wrestling shape’ over the last few months. He currently weighs around 280lbs, just shy of the 290lbs he weighed in his professional wrestling prime.
The news adds to speculation that he could be close to a return to WWE.
Previously, the man dubbed ‘The Animal’ had lost a considerable amount of weight while training for his Mixed Martial Arts career. Weighing in at 265lbs, he made a successful debut last year, defeating Vince Lucero by Tko. However, the fight drew widespread criticism from the Mma community for its poor quality. So far, a second fight has not materialised.
