10 Ways Batista Can Return As A Major WWE Babyface
10. Powerbombing The Miz
In his current role on the WWE roster, The Miz is getting a crash course in how to draw heat as a chickens**t heel. It's a role best suited for the TV star-turned-wrestler-turned-film actor, and in playing a role in the return of Dave Batista from promoting his star-making turn as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy, he could prove to be a huge boon to WWE. Let's put Batista's return somewhere around the Raw after Survivor Series. At this point, the company is building towards the Royal Rumble, and of course, Batista won last year's Royal Rumble event. Thus, it would make sense for Batista to return that Monday, only to be confronted by fellow film star The Miz. Of course, Miz attempting to put himself over at Batista's expense will in all likelihood not go so well, ending up in him eating the first Batista Bomb of the "Animal's" return to television.
