Timeline
David Michael Bautista Jr. (born January 18, 1969) is an American actor and retired professional wrestler.
Bautista began his wrestling career in 1999 and signed with the then-World Wrestling Federation (WWF, renamed WWE in 2002) in 2000.
He had his debut match as Khan on October 30, 1999.
Bautista also trained with Marrese Crump in Muay Thai and Eskrima.
Upon signing with the WWF in 2000, Bautista was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), a WWF developmental territory.
He made his OVW debut in July of that year under the ring name Leviathan, where he immediately joined forces with Synn.
As a member of the Disciples of Synn stable, he went undefeated until being beaten at Christmas Chaos by Kane with help from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
On May 14, 2001, he wrestled his first WWF/E match defeating Nick Dinsmore in a dark match for WWF Jakked.
He won the OVW Heavyweight Championship from "The Machine" Doug Basham in November 2001 before losing the belt to The Prototype in February 2002.
A few months later, Bautista left OVW after he was promoted to WWE's main roster.
While still in OVW, Bautista began appearing on non-televised WWE events.
He had several stints in WWE between 2002 and 2019.
From 2002 to 2010, he gained fame under the ring name Batista and became a six-time world champion by winning the World Heavyweight Championship four times and the WWE Championship twice.
His first reign with the World Heavyweight Championship is the longest reign for that title at 282 days.
He has also held the World Tag Team Championship three times (twice with Ric Flair and once with John Cena) and the WWE Tag Team Championship once (with Rey Mysterio).
He began his televised WWE career on May 9, 2002, on an episode of SmackDown! as Deacon Batista, a heel enforcer for Reverend D-Von.
He was the winner of the 2005 Royal Rumble match and went on to headline WrestleMania 21, one of the top five highest-grossing pay-per-view events in professional wrestling history.
Bautista began acting in 2006.
After leaving WWE in 2010, he re-signed in December 2013, made his first appearance back in January 2014, and won that year's Royal Rumble match.
He headlined WrestleMania XXX before again departing that June.
He has starred in the films The Man with the Iron Fists (2012), Riddick (2013), Spectre (2015), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), My Spy (2020), Army of the Dead (2021), Dune (2021), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and Knock at the Cabin (2023).
He competed in his lone mixed martial arts fight on October 6, 2012, defeating Vince Lucero via first round technical knockout.
Bautista was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Donna Raye (née Mullins) and hairdresser David Michael Bautista.
His mother is of Greek descent, and his father is the son of Filipino immigrants.
His paternal grandfather served in the Philippine military, worked as a taxi driver and barber, and held other jobs to feed the family.
Bautista has said that he lived in poverty and had a hard life, one that included the exposure to violent crime at an early age.
Before reaching the age of nine, two bodies had been found on his front lawn and another one nearby.
As young as age 13, he was stealing cars.
By 17, he was estranged from his parents and living on his own.
He later said, "I am proud of my parents. They are good, honest, hard-working folks. They taught me the values of working hard."
He was a nightclub bouncer until he was arrested after a fight that left two patrons injured, one of whom was rendered unconscious.
After a trial, he was sentenced to one year of probation.
He worked as a lifeguard before pursuing a career in bodybuilding, which he credits with saving his life.
He said he decided to turn his life around and become a wrestler after having a breakdown from the shame he felt after asking a coworker to lend him money so he could buy Christmas presents for his children.
Bautista tried out at the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) Power Plant but was told he would never make it in the wrestling business by Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker.
He then went to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), who advised him to train with Afa Anoa'i in the Wild Samoan Training Center wrestling school, where he trained and competed in Anoa'i's World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) promotion.
In his acting career, he is most widely known for his portrayal of Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), up until leaving the franchise after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023), and for his portrayal of Glossu Rabban Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve's Dune (2021) and its sequel, Dune: Part Two (2024).
In October 2018, Bautista made his second return to WWE and faced Triple H at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019, before retiring from wrestling.
Altogether, Bautista won a total of eleven championships throughout his wrestling career.
