4. It Could Mean A Potential Showdown With Brock Lesnar
Batista and Brock Lesnar were often compared to each other for obvious reasons. They matched up well physically; the truth is that they were two genetic anomalies among men. They were monsters born of intensity that thrived on rage and destruction. But the last time that both men had any real physical contact was around 2001 in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Their individual runs on WWE's main roster never seemed to coincide, the timing just wasn't right. But the dream match that fans wanted to see then could very well happen now. And the fact that there is another similarity between them is just more drama for this potential match-up. Brock was of course the UFC champion, while Batista himself also pursued a career in MMA. This would be another layer for this rivalry, a new aspect that Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman could exploit from day one. Because while Batista trained and gave it a shot, Brock conquered the sport. Let's face it, Heyman would have a field day with that. The truth is that among all-time great dream matches for WWE fans, Batista versus Brock Lesnar ranks near the top. And now that the opportunity is there for the match to actually happen, there is no reason why it shouldn't. The Animal versus The Next Big Thing. It may be a match 13 years in the making but there's no time like the present for these two forces of nature to collide.
