Bautista wants everyone to strive for justice tirelessly, and not to back down.

The entire movement began after George Floyd passed away in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the hands of a police officer. He allegedly suffocated Floyd by resting his knee on Floyd’s neck until he choked to death.

This sparked an uprising in the public domain, with people questioning the entire system ruthlessly. Bautista has just joined the line of wrestlers to support the movement openly on social media.

CM Punk, John Cena, Xavier Woods, and many more WWE Superstars are knee-deep in this struggle for a better world. “We’re together to remind each other what we’re fighting for,” stresses Bautista.

He means that if we face hardships during the struggle, then we should look at the person next to us. Then we should continue struggling. The essence of this movement comes from its teamwork, it is the movement’s greatest strength.

Bautista explains how he wants to leave the entire thing behind as bad memory, but won’t. “I want to forget. I won’t let myself,” he says. The entire situation is not a pretty sight, but it is what’s necessary.

To a lot of people, the movement is a nightmare of sorts, but then they wake up to the reality of the situation. “There’s too much at stake,” says Bautista.

Dave Bautista is right. There is too much thrown into the deal to back off anytime soon. Now the time and opportunity are ripe to demand the change that every citizen wants to see. Backing down from the big stage would be an injustice to all who have fallen victim to this social evil.

Bautista signs off by saying “Peace to everyone fighting for a dream.”

Bautista’s message and support for the movement will undoubtedly go a long way. The more support the movement gets from celebrities and WWE Superstars, the higher its chances are of achieving its goals.
