10 Ways Batista Can Return As A Major WWE Babyface
5. Burying Younger Wrestlers Like He Has Done On Podcasts
Tied into the potential of Batista being an effective babyface is him finding young mid-card wrestlers to mentor. Batista walking around in his first night on the job as "COO of WWE" and seeing Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E playing WWE 2K15 would be awesome. On Chris Jericho's "Talk Is Jericho" podcast, Batista criticized many young wrestlers for being more in favor of playing video games than taking their careers seriously. Angry Batista smashing an XBox 360 against a wall and the three black wrestlers crying "RACISM" would be amazing, if only because Batista would then call them lazy and demand more out of them. Taking a negative and making a potential positive out of the talented yet underwhelming trio of African-American wrestlers would be a phenomenal use of Batista returning, and also a way to engender crowd support.
