Batista and Booker T never really talked in WWE. However, things would heat up between the two of them backstage over circumstances involving Wrestlers’ Court and 3x Women’s Champion, Melina.
Batista, rumored to be having relations with Melina at the time, was hot about the conviction and had some ill feelings towards Booker T. They steered clear of each other for the most part.
Batista was stirring a lot of the SmackDown! roster the wrong way at the time, acting as though he was the standard and the top star. Booker T confronted Batista about the way he was acting.
Booker T continued, "Later on, he and I actually confronted each other like men, the fight went down, and ya know, I’m not gonna get into too much detail, but I got fast hands man."
The fight was so intense both men were left swollen and bloodied, and it took nearly a half dozen Superstars to separate them.
