Posted this on another thread but it appeared to get lost in the shuffle
[OFFICIAL] Batista got injured but won the belt anyway
- Thread starter KingofPortonia
- Start date
This is really only a 20 hour thread, but for those who don't know, Batista tore his triceps and will undergo surgery on Tuesday.
Despite the injury, he still won the title at Extreme Rules in the cage against Orton and has been written into Monday Night Raw.
So... what happens to the belt ???
Lets all remember that Vicki Guerrero is GM and she is married to Edge who ironically lost his strap too... hmmmmm ??!!
Let the speed debating begin....

If Edge comes onto Raw and wins the WWE title like this, which seems to be the insinuation, all it will prove to me is three things:
1. That Raw has admitted that the stars it has right now on it's brand mean absolutely nothing, and they have to rely on a Smackdown guy to be the face of their program.... Again. Edge coming onto Raw is basically Raw's creative throwing in the towel, and admitting that they can't portray compelling storylines with the wrestlers they have in the main event.
2. WWE has absolutely no intention of respecting the draft, and keeping wrestlers from switching shows. Not that it's really that big a deal, I suppose, but it just seems like it's entirely convoluted.
3. That the WWE does not respect the fan's intelligence, nor do they really seem to care all that much about what we want. The Edge/Vickie thing, while still remaining married, seems to really have no substance to it anymore. Both are involved in their own respective storylines, and both have strayed far from one another.
No, I for one wouldn't buy into Edge coming to Raw. I have a different fate set out for Raw. Something that involves.... Well, this man....
I mean, realistically, this man is always responsible for carrying Raw through it's darkest of periods. And even though his act is a bit hackneyed, people still watch this man. He still brings in merchandise, and for that matter, the kids will still follow what the man says. He's had about four months without a title, and while that seems an irrelevant number, it just seems like they wouldn't keep the strap off of him for far too long.
How will he wind up with the belt? I have no idea, honestly. Maybe he's booked in a simple match with Batista for the next Raw. I mean, he did beat The Big Show tonight. It's not like it's a stretch to deem him the number one contender, aside from Randy Orton, that is. And hey, it would give Randy something to complain about, as he was looked over for his rematch.
The other thing I see happening is Orton getting a rematch with Batista, and deciding to play an injury angle (again) with Batista going away for a while because of Orton. But even that doesn't make much sense... Why would you have Orton lose, if that were the case?
The last thing that comes to mind is perhaps Batista will try to give it a go, and try to wrestle with this tricep. That, or the dirt sheets have highly misreported his injury. But either way, I really have no clue how the WWE is going to portray this scene.

He won the belt in a quick match because he tore a biceps muscle. Doesn't make sense...seeing as he'll need surgery on that bad boy.
Keep it in here.
Keep it in here.
Lulz, Batista is injured again? I mean, it sucks for the guy. A triceps injury and what not. But the fact of the matter is, it's still hilarious. He's been back what, 2 months? 4? Geez, he needs to just not come back. No amount of money is worth getting injured this many times. Especially in this short of a time period.
He probably got the belt as a swerve, and to set up a "Orton lost his title, so he goes berserk and puts Batista on the shelf indefinitely" angle. Because they just can't admit that Orton is horrible for the show. There's a reason why numbers were free falling, and I guarantee you it's not Cena's feud with Big Show.
I would love for Cena to pick up the title, in some sort of "Vickie doesn't like it that you injured her champion, so she's giving it to Cena" thing. Or a match. Or a tourney. Ooooo, a tourney over the injured Batista's title sounds awesome. Especially if she keeps Orton out of the tournament because he's the one that made the tournament necessary in the first place. That's a rather good idea, actually. Score.
It even gives The Miz that one title shot everyone claims he needs before he's made into a main event player for reals. I've been told all he needs is one title shot, and everyone will know how awesome he really is. Well, you have it built in right here. Miz will say "but i'm undefeated against Cena!" and Vickie, for some reason, will agree to grant the match. Don't ask me why. Maybe she's high off of the pig shit fumes.
Or they could give it to Edge. Hell, might as well. Let Punk/Hardy dominate the Main Event of Smackdown. Though that really just says that Creative doesn't know how to make Edge have a feud that isn't main event, so take that as you will. This could give him some needed Heel heat. or maybe he can go on a rampage to try to "prove he deserves the title," ending with a feud with Orton that leaves Edge face, and gives Edge some much needed credibility.
I dunno though. Out of this injury you can get a Tournament that ends with Cena winning...or you can get a Edge title reign that will lead to the absolutely necessary Orton/Edge feud. It's all a crap-shoot, really. The only thing for certain is that Batista is not coming back for a looooong time.

Honestly this was Batista's own damn fault...Why? because he came back too early from his first injury, only to get injured again? Give me a break, if your not better don't screw yourself out of this...Now as far as what will happen, I want to see a big swerve tomorrow, give me another Battle Royal for the belt and let it be tri-branded, this could give the opportunity to shift another top star to the brand and give a better face a belt. Right now the main faces on Raw are Kofi, MVP, and Cena, you just axed Kennedy so you need to bring Hardy or Christian or get one of your top superstars to come back early and help Raw with having more faces...

That's funny. You're all saying Cena should be the one getting the strap with Batista gone. That's funny to me, because if it does happen, this is almost the same thing as last November when Batista's reign lasted for a week just so the WWE can hand the world title to the returning Cena, only if it were to happen again this time, his reign would be a 24 hour one, even shorter than his last world title reign.
Quite frankly I don't know what the WWE is trying to do at this point. If they knew what they're doing, they would've saved the Punk cashing in the case for this match, turn the guy heel, and have him feud with a John Cena (to get the title back to RAW), only to see Cena screwed by the angry Orton and his Legacy, which will set up a inter-branded triple threat between Orton, Punk and Cena.
The triple threat will have Orton go over Punk, start a program with Cena on RAW while Punk, knowing he was defeated and has no more chance because he's in a different brand, start a program with either Hardy or Edge for the world heavy weight championship on SD!

Lulz. and yet Kennedy gets fired...
I don't understand why they did this. I mean if they wanted the belt off Orton wouldn't they be better off letting CM punk cash in on batista instead of Hardy?. makes no sense at all because now they are most likly going to have the usual Batista is injured the title will be vacated. how many times do we have to see this?. I don't think the edge angle you people are suggesting will work. Edge is needed on Smackdown.

The WWE knew Batista was hurt before he won the belt. Wow what a way to sink the flagship show of the WWE. Also in the process they make a great heel look weak. Randy Orton charcter did not need to take that blow and lose steam in his upcoming feuds with faces. The WWE is doing great things with Smackdown and ECW. They just need to give Raw a shot in the arm. Raw needs fresh programs between other wrestlers and not give us the same thing that we have seen before. Big show/Cena, Orton/HHH, have been done before. Lets see HHH/ Cena have a program, Orton/MVP, new and fresh feuds is the key

I think Batista won the title BECAUSE he's injured. Hear me out. If he was fine then he could just lose the match and move on to another feud. But with an injury he needs to go out with a bang so he can return hot again. So Orton gets his rematch tonight. I'm guessing either Ric Flair costs Dave the title or they hotshot the return of Hunter and he costs Batista the belt since Batista cost him the title at Backlash. So when Batista returns he has a ready made feud with Hunter.
I don't see Cena winning the title. The WWE isn't like the old WCW. They know that Batista/Cena II is big money and there's no reason to waste it without any promotion on an episode of RAW.
Edge is an interesting possibility. When is Undertaker scheduled to return? If he and Kane show up on SD again then they can afford to lose Edge. I don't agree with the person that said if Edge goes to RAW it disrespects the brand lines. That's unfair. I know it's been less than two months but the WWE has done a very good job with the brand lines since they were reinstated after Backlash. If Edge does go to RAW then it's clearly a last minute ditch thing done because Batista is injured and Hunter is still gone. It wouldn't be a move that was just done for the heck of it. Sometimes you do need to cut the WWE some slack.
I agree with the Kennedy thing. It's what I've been thinking all along. Kennedy wasn't let go because of his injuries. They're just an excuse. He was let go because people with more pull than him didn't like him for whatever reason.
As far as Batista being injured again I'm not surprised. From the moment he ran out on the RAW after WrestleMania he seemed to be hobbling a bit gingerly. He was returning far earlier than scheduled. I hope he's happy. Was it really worth it to hotshot your return, Dave? When people return early they increase their chances of being reinjured. With a guy Dave's size (natural or not >_>) the risks increase even more. So congrats, Dave. You thought you didn't have much time left to wrestle and now you probably have even less. You got two months in the sun (one of which you lived in Trip's shadow) and now you're leaving again. This is going to be his second pointless title reign in a row.

Batista is just a big injury prone piece of shit. I bet the steroids he's taking (yes he's definitely taking roids) didn't help any. I'm sick of his little returns. Anybody can return 4 times, but people like Big Show, John Cena, Shelton Benjiman, CM Punk, Jericho, Mysterio, Randy Orton, Priceless, Cryme Tyme, Charlie Haas, Great Khali, The Divas, Tommy Dreamer, Christian, Swagger, Mark Henry, Hornswoggle, JR, King, Michael Cole, Vince McMahon, Sim Snuka, Todd Grisham, Matt Stryker's penis, The people who set up the ring, the fans, all seem to stay healthy.
FUCK BATISTA. Even Ric Flair never missed time, and he wrestled for 30 years. Batista has been in the ring probably 9 years.

This sounds like a HHH move here... pulling the strings to become champ on his return... it would be interesting to se HBK show up though seeing as the feud between him and Batista ended with HBK getting the crap beaten out of him... or maybe its just another rumor... i guess we will see but im pretty uninterested with another boring Batista title reign... also maybe they can build up Legacy now by kinda making them start from scratch... we will see on RAW
I am wondering if this could possibly mean the return of HHH. If he wasn't slated to return to a later date the injury to Batista they could possibly have him return sooner.
I think it would be a perfect setup for a Orton vs HHH rematch at the next PPV. Vickie could come out to start RAW saying that even though Batista won the title due to his injury she has no choice but to take the title away from him cause he won't be able to defend it, then Orton could come out saying that since he was the former champion that he should be awarded the title and just when Vickie is thinking about giving him the title HHH could make his return and make his case like using his "rematch clause" or something for the title which could lead to a Orton vs Triple H match for the vacant title at the next PPV
But I guess we will have to wait till RAW on Monday night to see what happens!

Well...why they had Batista win the match knowing of his injury is beyond me. It makes no sense. The only logical thing they can do is give the belt back to Cena. Cena beat Show clean, again. Which means that they're officially through. Hopefully. I said this in the LD thread, but I think they'll have a Title Tournament to determine the champion. To be honest, I think a match will feature either MVP, Cena, Orton, and possibly HHH if he comes back to Raw. Bringing Edge back wouldn't make any sense. A Punk/Hardy feud would be too soon. It'd be best to have Edge stay on Smackdown.
But as far as Batista goes...this could very well be near the end of the road for Dave. He's not as bad as Kennedy when injuries take place, but he's getting too old and when you're as muscular and old as he is, muscles tear quicker than usual. And to be honest, Batista was just losing a lot of steam with me. He was awesome back when he had hair and less neck fat. Now, he just looks like he's in pain during his matches.
Hopefully, Batista takes longer to recover and gets fully healthy for one more big run before he calls it quits. But look for Cena to be champion again by Summerslam.

Fuck erbody but me
Maybe the reports are wrong, has anyone considered that? It wouldn't be the first time. Either way, a one armed Batista is a more credible champion than Orton. If it's true, I'm looking for Edge to show up. They already planted the seed. Maybe she trades for him to give him a title shot and win him back.
im 99 pecent sure raw will end with a new champion, lets look at the options..
Orton Vs MVP with orton using the whole 'imma the former champ so the belt belongs to me now' story or even have mvp saying 'this is my chance, its my time'. I personally dont have a problem with either option. mvp as champ would surprise, hell that god awful thing they call a belt would go pretty well with his bling bling haha...
triple h returns to win the title in a battle royal that features orton, priceless, the colons, the miz, big show, cena, kofi, regal, hardy etc...
or something that would really surprise alot of people is that hbk eturns and takes the title for his 'one last title run' that he deserves, unfortunatley he doesnt want the belt or need the belt at this point in his carrer.
what about a surprise surprise return from Kennedy, now that would be a swerve, and Im almost certain the crowd would go nuts.
OR you could have santino vs goldust for the vacant title,
okay that last one was obviously a joke.... or was it???
okay it was...

maybe its a case where Batista has noticed he is just too injury prone... and maybe this is his last injury.... maybe he heals... comes back... does his goodbye match and has his little speech... and goes home.
he has said he doesn't think he has long left in him, so maybe vince gave him the strap one last time
he has said he doesn't think he has long left in him, so maybe vince gave him the strap one last time
Well it's an obvious episode of raw ahead isn't it? Rematch in the main event, Orton wins after interference and punts Batista, then in a month's time HHH, batista and Flair return together and beat legacy. Oh, wait. Since it's too obvious it won't happen now. Batista will retain. No that's too stupid. Batista gets stripped of the title and they have a battle royale for the belt, and Big Show wins. Or Edge transfers to Raw and wins the belt. Or HHH returns and wins the belt. Or HHH returns and costs Batista the belt. Dammit, I miss the predictable days.
Batista is injured again. I don't know about you but this is one too many. I also think that batista bomb he hit on Orton was a bit too hard for Randy's liking. When that happens the opponent gets fired right?
Seriously though, I can't see how they went through with the title change if there was an injury unless they have something big planned for tonight. If Orton ends up with the belt tonight, last night's title change was a waste. Also if Batista is retiring soon, he needs to actually be in the ring for the remaining time.

I agree this is either a HHH move to somehow work his way into winning the title tonight, or Orton is going to go on a rampage and absolutly destroy Batista, winning the belt in the process and puting him out of action.
It really is beyond me though why you would ruin Ortons momentum and have a title change, already knowing that batista is injured.

Edge Face turn, jumps ship to raw, wins title.
THE Madcap
I'm MASSIVE and RIPPED
well lets line up the possibilities here...
- Batista is legitimately injured but the ratings show that Orton's current reign was a flop. if this is the case, I don't see Orton winning a rematch on RAW. For me, the possible candidates for the title are Triple H, Cena, MVP, Edge, Big Show.
Now... WWE havent officially announced Batista's injury have they? It is possible, not likely but possible that Triple H could return tonight, win the title and injure Batista as payback, and then have a long, built up, hyped up return feud. Personally though, I think Triple H's return should, and will be hyped up somwhat anyway so this is unlikely.
Cena... well Cena doesn't have much on at the moment, his feud with the big show has run out of steam IMO, unless they add something else in.....
Like a Big show title win! This would shock everyone and further the storyline with Cena. However, it's interesting to note that Vicky and Edge "broke up" last night. With Vickie's position of power as RAW GM, this could go two ways. She could choose to devote herself to her "lover", the Big Show or...
She could present an opportunity for her estranged husband Edge to get back into the title picture, with her help to aid her in reclaming his heart. Plus, Edge looks weird without a belt, is the ultimate opportunist and could give us the Rated RKO feud the IWC are craving for
MVP could have been a candidate if this happened in another couple of months, seeing as he just lost the US title, but really he's not ready for that yet.
Which leads me to my final point, which noone has brought up yet... Which month are we in? June.. what has typically happened in June in the WWE in recent years? THE KING OF THE RING!! Why can't they do a tournament, on RAW only if need be, to decide a new champ? would certainly bring something interesting to RAW.
Either way..tonights RAW will certainly be an interesting one.

Should be a great oppertunity to put the title on somebody new and fresh. No, not Triple H. Or even John Cena. I'm talking about some random, ''what the fuck?'' type person. Ted Dibiase, maybe. Yeah, he's a lackey. So what? Does it really matter? It could be intresting. Or MVP. Or even Mr. Kenn.......No wait, not him.
Or Batista isn't injured.
Or Batista isn't injured.

.... BECAUSE I'M AWESOME
I think that this is an opprutunity to give the belt to Cena. In order to do this do to the fact that cena/batistia is really unlikely do to the fact its a big deal they would need to give it to a transisitional champion, big show or the miz. Either one of these guys have cena ties right now and its likely to see them with the title just to beat cena at the next ppv then loose the one after that to him. I think they might move orton away from the championship for a while and have him fued as a midcard ppv match because thats what his title matches have been of late. If batista looses his championship to someone other then orton he will disapear for a little while till his mcmahon/hhh fued is over, then he will go after Cena. I think this is just a way to get Orton away from the title picture. I see a transitional champion comming about, hopefully the miz but i wouldnt mind big show either as long as the title stays far away from hhh I will be happy, i doubt hhh will allow that to happen, being that he is maried to the head of creative and has an ego the size of texas
