Dave Bautista Reveals He's Sneaking His WWE Finishing Move Into Movies (Exclusive)

As a long-time WWE fan and avid gamer, I can’t help but be thrilled by Dave Bautista‘s continued homage to his wrestling roots in his film career. The man is a true icon, not just in the world of professional wrestling, but also in Hollywood. And it’s amazing to see him sneak little Easter eggs into his movies that pay tribute to his past.


Dave Bautista has been subtly incorporating his WWE techniques into his film roles for quite some time. During an interview with ComicBook prior to the release of “My Spy: The Eternal City” on Prime Video, Bautista discussed this entertaining Easter egg. In the sequel, he manages to slip in a Bautista Bomb and we were quick to spot it. The WWE icon shared that these moments are his way of paying tribute to dedicated fans from his wrestling days. Despite collaborating with esteemed directors, many viewers remain connected to Bautista’s past as a champion in the ring. He continues to express fondness for those memories and finds creative ways to acknowledge the WWE supporters who played a significant role in his Hollywood success.

The ex-WWE star expressed eagerness to include a particular element in their films. While working on a fight scene, they thought, “What a blast this would be!” It has since grown into an fixation for them. They’re trying to incorporate it into every production, just for the sake of it. It’s like a hidden reference, a wink to their past and dedicated fans. The interview itself was enjoyable, much like this comeback to the franchise.

An alternate description for the upcoming “My Spy” release on Prime Video: “In the exciting new installment of ‘My Spy,’ titled ‘My Spy in Europe,’ Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman rejoin as the beloved leads. This heartwarming family adventure takes place in some of Europe’s most iconic cities. When Sophie’s (Coleman) high school choir is invited on a trip to Italy, culminating in a performance for the Pope, JJ (Bautista) seizes the chance to strengthen his bond with his new stepdaughter. He joins the group as a chaperone, guiding them through Venice’s famous canals, Florence’s iconic bridges, and Rome’s historical sites.”

An unexpected turn of events reveals that Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal unknowingly play roles in a terrorist scheme with the potential to destroy our world. New additions to the cast include Anna Faris, Craig Robinson, and Flula Borg in this fresh, globetrotting comedy directed by Pete Segal (known for “Get Smart” and “50 First Dates”).
