WWE: 10 Steps To Book Brock Lesnar From Now Until WrestleMania 31
6. A Face Off With Batista On Raw
After weeks of saying he was training to take a new victim, in the weeks prior to SummerSlam, Lesnar returns to appoint his next match. It should come out of the blue, a real shock moment. Have Dave Batista cutting a promo on Raw about his Summer film The Guardians Of The Galaxy, when all of a sudden Lesnar's music hits. Presumably Big Dave will be a face at this point related to his film. Lesnar comes down to the ring and the two men have a face off. That's all that's needed at this stage, the image of the Beast and the Animal staring off does everything that's needed. It's absolutely the right way to go for a major SummerSlam headlining match. Both Batista and Lesnar have mainstream name value, it's a match that will draw wrestling fans and outside interest. It ties in nicely for Batista wanting to be a face against a heel linked in with his Guardians Of The Galaxy promotion. Batista versus Lesnar is also one of those rare big name matches that have never occurred before. They both have similar body types and match styles, when they face it off it really will look like an immovable object versus an irresistible force. It's compelling drama, which is what the WWE makes money off.
