7 Reasons Why Batista Won't Ever Return To WWE

3. No WWE Interest In His Wish To Only Work Occasional House Shows

During one interview this year, Batista interestingly stated that he'd be willing to work for WWE again. The only real restriction he'd place on any deal would be that he'd want to only work house shows. This is similar to a deal Chris Jericho often has with the company, only making a small number of TV appearances on top of that. It doesn't seem like something WWE would be at all interested in. As aforementioned, the current roster is very light on genuine money-making draws. Batista isn't quite the big star he used to be in the wrestling bubble, for various reasons. Whilst his appearance on television would draw some degree of attention, is he really guaranteed to sell out buildings on the road as part of a live tour in 2015? The fact there's uncertainty over that may turn WWE off the idea. After all, Batista hasn't been a WWE regular really since 2010, and the audience has changed since then. It'd be nice to have Batista for a few dates, but his contract terms are unrealistic. WWE enjoy having stars at their own behest, a small amount of house show appearances wouldn't cut it for them. They could advertise Batista for exclusive matches on live events, but there are questions over how much money the company would glean from such bouts.
