WWE: 6 Reasons Batista's Return Is The Right Move

By Tom Clark /

The Animal is on his way back to the company that made him a star. David Bautista is taking a break from his growing Hollywood career and once again assuming the Batista character as he returns to WWE. The announcement was made this past week on WWE programming and it came as a result of the news breaking online that he would be appearing at a live event in February. Once word spread, the company evidently decided to take the bull by the horns and step up Batista's return to TV. And it could not come a moment too soon for WWE. In fact, I believe that this move will be a mutually beneficial one for both sides. WWE often brings back former Superstars to the fold, for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes it's just to hype an upcoming pay-per-view or just for a nostalgic ratings boost. Other times however it's all about giving a guy another run, another opportunity to shine in the company that made him famous. And sometimes it's about allowing a talent to promote his project to a worldwide audience while WWE absorbs a good bit of the mainstream publicity that comes from it. The fact is that Batista's return is the right move for WWE for a number of reasons. And here are six of them.
