10 WWE Stars From 2005 Who'd Be Awesome On Today's Roster
8. Batista
This guy. Yes, I kid you not, but Dave Batista as an insufferable stuffed shirt who thinks that he's god's gift to pro wrestling would be a fantastic addition to Raw these days. Imagine Vince McMahon himself returning on Raw next month to say that at December's TLC event, he was going to "SHAKE WWE TO ITS CORE" with the "permanent" main roster return of a MULTIMEDIA DOMINATING WWE SUPERSTAR. That guy being DAVE BATISTA? And having Batista get into a feud with say, a freshly minted as no-nonsense and honest-talking babyface Kevin Owens? It could be *just* the thing that a guy like Owens needs to get to the next level. At present, Owens is the Intercontinental Champion, but has no feud to sink his teeth into. The idea of VINCE returning as this out of touch oldster and co-signing Batista would be a deft inside nod to the fans, as well as what could potentially be some truly entertaining TV.
