6 Reasons WWE Fans Won't Miss Batista While He's Gone

3. A Break Could Be Good For His Character

When Batista came back, WWE thought he would get this legends pop that guys like Shawn Michaels or Undertaker get. That didn't happen. Fans wanted Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble and when Bryan wasn't even in the match they booed everybody else. That meant Batista was hated when he returned. For the next month WWE continued to book him as a face even though the crowd was rejecting. After his bad match with Alberto Del Rio at Elimination Chamber, WWE did the right thing by turning him heel. He really didn't stand out as a heel, though. He was in the background for a lot of the things he did with Triple H and Randy Orton. Those guys got to talk more than him. Orton was the former WWE Champion. Going away for a couple of months is going to help his character whether he's still a heel or there's a face turn in his future.
