I think Batista would make an amazing heal, he has the look and the wrestling skills for a heal, and he was a monster in Evolution. I'd much rather see a Heal Batista as Champion right now, but he's really the only Face on Smackdown right now that can hold the title, or at least that Vince will let hold it (...benoit...) I'd say that his best chance right now, since Taker is gonna be giving up the title, is to give it to Batista, turn him heal, and make him feud with Benoit. I'd love to see that feud. Drag it through Summerslam, with Batista picking up multiple victorys against Benoit, most cheap ones, then have Benoit win the title at the Biggest Party of the Summer, 3 years after he lost it. Batista will go another month to feud with benoit, have a rivalry with someone else for a few months, then team with Orton around the Rumble, and eventually start a feud with HHH and Flair at WM24. That's the best move for the WWE IMO right now.
