I posted this in another thread but if WWE does a MITB match at Wrestlemania and DB wins it and then cashes in on winner of Batista-Orton, THAT would be a stroke of genius by WWE.
I agree MITB would be awesome, but VERY predictable.
As 2 the arena that leaked Batista's return, I don't agree and don't believe this, only Vince and Trips were aware of Batista's return, I can't imagine them being able to keep the Rock's return a secret but telling an arena administrator in some city : " Hey I've got a surprise for you Batista is returning and he'll be there when Raw hits our city ! But shhhhhhhhh "
Guy puts it up to sell tickets? Nahhhhhhh, I can't buy that,
The arena's (Sorry I can't remember where it was leaked) marketing team was made aware of the return, some missunderstanding as to when to let the fans know that's it. The intention was never to have him enter the Rumble as a surprise.
One last thing, EVEN IF the information is leaked, bring him back at the Rumble, I think his return on RAW was awful and awkward to say the least:
- Introduced by Trips (That people hate right now)
- Stephanie with the freakin weird big smile the whole time Batista was posing in the 4 corners,
- Orton is there wondering what the hell to do,
- Batista takes the mike and says nothing, "I came back for this, the WWE title" YA OK, RIGHT, SURE! (Btw i reacted the same when Rock said that 2 ears ago)
- Comes back later in the show to destroy Del Rio and snap his fingers saying this was easy. So unfair for Del Rio ... and even for the WWE Belt which Del Rio held for a fair amount of time. Lack of respect, uncalled for, I would've had Del Rio eliminate him yesterday, a program with him talking about respect and failed MMA career leading up to Mania would've interested me, not an Orton feud.
Anyways, bad booking, yes, masterchoke, yes, but not because Bran wasn't in the Rumble, because all the boos could've been avoided with a surprise and unexpected return from Batista
