10 Ways Batista Can Return As A Major WWE Babyface
7. Making Fun Of The Authority
There exists a great space for a dynamic to develop between Dave Batista and Triple H that is similar to Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon. There has yet to be a wrestler that has challenged Triple H's abuse of power in the same way that Austin did McMahon. Yes, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk have challenged The Authority, but neither of them with the devil may care attitude of Steve Austin. Batista's desire to get back into the ring on a regular basis may be on the wane, but as an ass-kicking semi-competitive sly wiseacre, Batista could be a great foil for Triple H. Batista being the man urging on Roman Reigns, as well as the guy playing big brother to Daniel Bryan could be great, too. If anything, borrowing that aspect of Batista's Drax the Destroyer character could make for compelling storytelling down the line for WWE.
