Batista (David Michael Bautista) is born in Washington, D.C. He grows up in a tough neighborhood, claiming to witness many traumatic events as a child.

We saw a couple of people die. There were fights all the time, stabbings were common. That’s all I knew. It didn’t seem out of the norm to me. Yes, there was a dead body in the alley, but I was still out there playing with my friends.
