ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting that Batista was backstage at this past Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble event and met with Vince McMahon, who reportedly asked Batista if he would be interested in appearing at the upcoming WrestleMania 32 event in Dallas, Texas in a non-wrestling capacity.

The report, however, states that Batista initially turned down the offer, although the door has reportedly been left open for WWE's creative department to pitch other suggestions to possibly use the former WWE Champion at WrestleMania.
