Some day WWE Hall of Famer Dave Bautista has a new zombie movie, Army of the Dead, in theaters now and arriving on Netflix next Friday (May 21). He provided the narration for WrestleMania Backlash’s opening video earlier this evening, an event sponsored by Dave’s new flick.
Before the show, he tweeted this...
Wishing good luck to all the WWE Superstars competing tonight at #WMBacklash. Sorry I couldn’t make it … but some of my friends will. #ArmyOfTheDead @WWE

... including Priest pinning the A-Lister, Adnan Virk telling us the announcers “moved to a safer place”, and Corey Graves making a very good Dawn of the Dead reference (the George Romero original, not the Zack Snyder one).
But we can’t really focus on that right now. Because as far as we know, both John Morrison and Miz were eaten by zombies.
