We havent seen Batista since he rebuffed The Authority and quit after not getting what he wanted out of his return to the WWE. Well, to be more specific we havent seen him on WWE TV. We did see him on the silver screen in Guardians of the Galaxy, starring alongside Chris Pratt, a green Zoe Saldana, a living tree, and an anthropomorphic raccoon voiced by Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper respectively. Not to put words in anybodys mouth, but can we all agree that Batista nailed his part as Drax? Needless to say, Batistas star factor has gone up a few notches since hes stepped away from the ring. Which leaves us to wonder if and when hes coming back to the squared circle. Batistas return has all the vital ingredients for a resounding ovation. It may seem farfetched based on his latest return to the WWE, but that was more wrong place, wrong time than anything. It also doesnt help that the WWE bungled the return from jump street, mostly by giving away the surprise weeks in advance. This time will be different. Firstly, we are not even sure he will be returning after experience such resounding success in the world of acting. That element of surprise should be enough to make his re-emergence pop. Second, hes been away for quite some time, with absolutely no mention of his existence, which should bode well for reception. If he has any issues, it would be is entrance music. The buildup in the beginning of the song is a bit long, seeing as music that pops swiftly is better for returns, but seeing as he has everything else in to cultivate the pop, it shouldnt be too big a problem. It also helps that that theme is generally well liked. It should be exciting when Batista, now a true Hollywood star returns and kicks the crap out of The Miz for trying to mingle with him as though theyre peers. Not telling the WWE what to do, but that segment writes itself.
