Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson isn't the only wrestler who turned to acting. After signing with the WWE in 2000, Dave Bautista adopted the ring name "Batista" and quickly became successful as a wrestling star. Over the course of his career in the ring, Bautista won the World Heavyweight Championship four times and the WWE Championship twice, per Newsweek. He hung up his wrestling belt in 2010 and briefly tried out mixed martial arts (MMA), winning his first and only fight in 2012. Bautista began acting during his wrestling career and made his debut in an episode of "Smallville" in 2006, followed by several small/supporting roles in various films and TV shows throughout the early 2010s. He's grown in popularity in recent years, appearing in Marvel movies as well as other action films.
