10 Ways Batista Can Return As A Major WWE Babyface

2. The Beast Versus The Animal

If looking for a way to keep Batista babyface for the duration of 2015, the idea of promising Batista versus Brock Lesnar at say, Wrestlemania 32 would certainly keep Batista as a hot (and popular) name on the lips of wrestling fans worldwide. While yes, the idea of Brock wrestling say, The Rock at a future Wrestlemania has been bandied about, The Rock having to undergo major surgery after his last in-ring appearance makes the idea of him being a "special referee" or a "special enforcer" for a Batista versus Lesnar match (as he was when John Cena wrestled The Miz at Wrestlemania 27) certainly sound more appealing than him taking any more (potentially crippling) bumps. Roman Reigns telling Batista on Raw that he thinks that Batista would've stood a shot against Brock Lesnar could easily set off a bitter Lesnar possibly saying to like, TMZ that if Batista had won the Royal Rumble that he would've killed him in the ring. Of course, Batista coming out on Raw and saying that Lesnar isn't going to say that to his face begets another moment where Lesnar sends Paul Heyman to Raw to say that there's no amount of money great enough to re-sign Brock Lesnar to make the match happen, and that it won't. Ideally, the war of words continues on social media, on websites, and everywhere but in the ring spurring on The Rock to get involved with Triple H and Vince McMahon to say, "let's make it happen" when Lesnar re-emerges on a Raw when he knows that Batista's off filming his next movie and proceeds to destroy a few members of the roster. Telling both Lesnar and Batista to "bring it" for Wrestlemania, the match gets signed.
