While the WWE wrestlers were split between Iraq and house shows in the Southern U.S., Batista was in the Philippines last week promoting a new energy drink he is endorsing.
Batista is of Filipino descent and he grabbed headlines in national newspapers declaring that Filipino star boxer Manny Pacquiao will defeat Floyd Mayweather in the March 2010 fight.
Batista told reporters that he'll talk trash with Triple H leading up to the fight. Hunter endorsed Mayweather this past summer prior to Mayweather defeating Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas after Mayweather guest-hosted WWE Raw.
Caldwell's Analysis: WWE's marketing push for WrestleMania 26 would be greatly enhanced if WWE can hitch their wagon to the build-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, which takes place two weeks before WrestleMania. The right strategy would be to book Triple H vs. Batista for WrestleMania in a re-match from WrestleMania 21 when Batista won his first World Title. Stay tuned.
