These days, Dave Bautista is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Drax in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but that hasn't always been the case.

Despite no longer being a WWE regular, Batista remains popular with fans to this day and still makes sporadic guest appearances from time to time. He's often included as an unlockable superstar in WWE 2K games too, and this is once again the case in WWE 2K22. Rather than unlocking him using in-game currency like in previous games though, players will this time need to best Batista in the ring. Here's how.

In order to unlock Batista in WWE 2K22, players will need to defeat him in Showcase mode while also completing all 13 of the optional objectives.

Thankfully, pausing the game will usually provide more detailed instructions on how to complete the active objective, which can make life a little easier for players who are having trouble.

Once players have completed the final objective, they'll unlock Batista as well as an alternate attire from the match they just completed. They'll also unlock a new version of Rey Mysterio, as well as the SmackDown 2009 Arena. Completing every objective in this match is also one of the requirements for unlocking the special bonus Showcase mode match, with players also needing to fully complete the other ten matches
