As announced on Friday, Titus O'Neil has been named Celebrity Dad of the Year in 2015 MEGA Dads Awards. Batista, who O'Neil has credited with influencing him to try out for WWE in the late 2000s—he was immediately signed—congratulated him on the honor via Twitter.
Congrats to my man @TitusONeilWWE ...Well deserved! https://t.co/02N5twVvQ1

Batista immediately followed-up the message with a swipe at WWE's creative team.
He wrote, "WWE: "@TitusONeilWWE you're everything a WWE star should be! Get out there and represent our company!! " Titus: "Then why don't you give me a push?' WWE: "Sorry there's nothing for you creatively" #sameoldbulls--t."

Batista has long felt that O'Neil is underutilized by WWE. "The Animal" said last August during an interview promoting Guardians of the Galaxy that he would like to work with him when he returns to WWE.
"I also have a really close friend, Thaddeus Bullard, who is Titus O'Neil and he's actually a really close friend. I think there is a lot that remains to be seen from him and I don't think they're doing him justice, they aren't really using him to his full ability and I'd love to be that guy that kind of brings him up to the next level, so if I could accomplish that, that would be great," said Batista.
