At some point prior to 2015, we can expect to see the return of Batista to WWE television. He's finished promotion of Guardians of the Galaxy, and with more film projects forthcoming, the former WWE Heavyweight Champion will likely love to want to be visible on WWE television for promotional purposes. Though Batista left WWE solidly entrenched as a heel performer, his heel status likely had more to do with his lack of in-ring conditioning than anything involving his general lack of connectivity as a character. Now, with some time back in the ring under his belt and a superstar movie turn just completed, the WWE Universe may have a different response for the returning superstar. From in-ring moments to promos and backstage vignettes, there are numerous ways for Big Dave to ingratiate himself once again with the WWE Universe. However, there are ten certain moments, involving obvious names like like Roman Reigns, Triple H and Brock Lesnar, to even names like The Miz and Damien Sandow. Though seemingly a terrible idea given how he last was positioned in WWE, Batista returning as a babyface has tremendous upside potential for WWE as a whole.
