Will Batista get his one on one Title shot?

[ryder123]

Brock Lesnar vs. Batista! Sounds good if you ask me. Imagine a Batista return announcing hes coming for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship which is still held by Brock Lesnar. If WWE Does choose this scenario then I expect Batista to return at Night Of Champions after Lesnar retains against John Cena, big staredown, crowd boo's Batista, you get the picture.

If Batista doesn't return at Night Of Champions I expect the Cena/Lesnar match to finish in a brawl between the two maybe with Cena getting the upperhand only for the match to spill around the arena causing a double countout, Hell in a Cell comes around, the two finish the brutal feud in the Cell, Brock Lesnar wins, Cena goes off on a break, que Batista, Survivor Series big main Event, The Animal vs. The Beast. I'm not a Batista fan so I'd be going for Lesnar but I think the match could be a colossal Encounter, maybe make it No Holds Barred. I do think that Triple H will try and screw Batista somehow thus possibly setting up an early Wrestlemania 31 encounter

This all depends around Lesnars schedule of course but what do use think? Would you watch Survivor Series if Batista & Lesnar headlined?

 

[smizzy]

I honestly don't see what's appealing about the idea. Fans are not going to back Batista. Lesnar is a super heel. The two of them are not exactly the most fluid workers in the ring. Batista just blew out the candles on his 70th birthday cake or something (haven't actually fact checked that yet).

And most importantly, why waste the rub of the title on Batista when there are several young options who would actually benefit from it? Batista had a real nice career. He doesn't need one more title run, he's already accomplished what he needs to.

Brock Lesnar (c) vs Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it is bound to happen sooner or later if not at Hell in a Cell then definitely at Survivor Series because Batista is set to return in the fall

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I doubt it because there doesn't seem to be a lot of fans clamoring for it. I know I'm certainly not. If WWE fans didn't want Orton vs. Batista at WrestleMania XXX for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, I don't know why they'd want Batista going up against Brock Lesnar for the title. I certainly don't think that Batista is the one they ultimately want to see take the title from Lesnar.

Of course, if Batista's on board and WWE wants it to happen, it'll happen. However, that's no guarantee that fans won't take it upon themselves to shit all over the idea just like they did with Orton vs. Batista. The fans protested hard enough and even Vince had to see that Orton vs. Batista wouldn't draw money for WrestleMania XXX. What's to stop them from protesting just as hard for Batista vs. Lesnar?

Personally, I think it'd be in everyone's best interest to have someone wrestle Lesnar, whether win or lose, that can carry much of the match while simultaneously making Lesnar look good. It worked with CM Punk last year at SummerSlam and it worked with John Cena this year at SummerSlam. When I think of someone helping to cover Lesnar's shortcomings while simultaneously being able to make Lesnar look great, Batista definitely doesn't spring to mind.

 

[Terry Gyimah]

Or how about Orton vs Lesnar, if anyone could help cover Lesnar's shortcomings making Lesnar look great then it is definitely The Viper Randy Orton or how about Sheamus vs Lesnar? That is another match that I know I definitely would love to see and perhaps Batista when he does come back if he comes back Batista will most likely be a heel again

I usually agree with 95% of what you post in here, but this is one of those 5% times. I was one of those people that absolutely HATED the idea of Orton vs Batista main eventing Wrestlemania 30. The reason for that was because, the Wrestlemania main event is always supposed to have the biggest payoff of the year, the match that everybody is clamoring for; and that match sure as hell wasn't Batista vs Randy Orton. I think the reason everybody shit all over the Batista-Orton match was because they saw a missed, once in a lifetime opportunity for Daniel Bryan passing them by... However, if that Batista vs Orton match for the title had happened at RR, or SSeries, I can easily see the crowd becoming invested because it IS a good, intriguing match, just not a match made for Wrestlemania.

I think Lesnar vs Batista is a hell of a lot more intriguing than Batista-Orton and I would love to see this match happen at Survivor Series. You have two mastadons, who have legitimate MMA training going at it for the World Title? Sign me up. I agree that Batista is probably not the guy the WWE Universe wants to take the title off Lesnar but, you gotta admit, it would be an epic showdown.

I dont know how you could compare Orton vs Batista to lesnar vs batista when the latter has never been done before. Orton and Batista had wrestled numerous times over the course of their career. Its been done, theres no intrigue to it. Theres definitely money to be made with Lesnar vs Batista (even though batista is out of his prime). It is a match that ppl are willing to dish the money out for whether the die hard wrestling fans think batista can or cannot wrestle without gassing out early.

 

[Mudlup50]

Since we knew Lesnar was gonna take the title(back before MitB) I've been suggesting a list of matches for Lesnar. Batista is on that list. Why would he get booed? When he came back, he would've been a face if the fans didn't want Bryan so bad. He comes back again fresh off his movie and quitting Evolution and he challenges Lesnar. He tell Trips that if anyone can stop a Beast it's the Animal. At some point Triple H will turn on the idea of Lesnar as champion so an authority guy v Lesnar should be expected.

My question is how long would Batista return for and would he be willing to put his goals on the back burner? I sure as hell don't see a problem with Batista v Lesnar if it's booked like Cena v Lesnar was. We could see 2 of the biggest babyfaces of the last decade decimated...actually 3 because I didn't include Undertaker. If anything, this would help everyone involved. Batista has quit twice already and a third doesn't appeal to me. Him being wheeled out because Lesnar obliterated him would be great. Plus Lesnar would get more heel heat for it. If they book it like that, Lesnar can fight anybody so long as they're a decent move seller(again, anybody but like Khali or Hogan).

And honestly as someone who stopped watching and started after the Rumble, Orton v Batista was kinda interesting. Even though I knew Bryan was gonna beat Trips I even liked the idea of a triple threat between them. Batista should get a pop when he returns...

But what if the WWE screws themselves on this one? Imagine if all of John Cena's talk about Lesnar not loving the business, CM Punk leaving because of part time talent and other events like that, cause Batista to return to boos again xD that'd be the most hilarious thing ever.

 

[Terry Gyimah]

Batista vs Lesnar I don't understand how people aren't salivating at the idea of this match? This match is like a dream match, 2 behemoths going at it but also if anyone could stop Lesnar it is probably Batista

 

[Creepy Old Man]

Batista has no place in WWE in 2014. He sat very awkwardly on the show and fans simply did not want him. It wasn't like how spectators tired of the babyface incarnations of Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart and then became emotionally invested in their now legendary heel work - fans just aren't interested in Batista, heel or face. His time has come and gone.

 

[hollowpoint]

From a standpoint of this match hasn't happened before, maybe. The only problem I have is both of these guys are Super clumsy in the ring and the match has a possibility of being one of the worst ever. No one wants to see Batista in a high profile match, much less against the monster heel in Lesnar.

 

[Jan]

Batista flopped because of Daniel Bryan. The dick-riding bandwagon seems to be slowing down, so I see a potensial comeback for the animal.

Batista vs Brock is what's best for business.

If Bryan beats Lesnar at WM31 I will riot in my moms basement.

 

[CrucifiedRaven]

Yes, I believe he will get a one on one shot vs Lesnar either at Survivor Series or at the Royal Rumble. He is a "big name" and he has the size that could be a believable threat to Lesnar, at least in kayfabe. Plus I don't think they've ever faced off before.

To that point, Randy Orton should get a one on one shot vs Lesnar as well. Despite me having no interest whatsoever in that match, WWE pushes Orton as on the same level as Cena, so again it "should" be a marquee match.

 

[Navi]

The way Orton's been acting lately with the chip on his shoulder he doesn't deserve a title match against Lesnar. Besides I think Lesnar would break him in half in under 5 minutes, he's not a match for him, and all the shenanigans in the world won't help him.

Batista's pageant wave was hilarious the night he left, and can't see him returning as a heel. He pretty much told HHH to fuck off, so when he returns he should come back as a face. He could have a small feud against Lesnar, but the WWE would be a lot smarter if they used him sort of the way Ambrose is being booked now, you know the proverbial thorn in the side. Have him come out and hang around the ring at Lesnar's matches and being a major distraction. Seriously don't think Batista can go a match with Lesnar, he gets gassed just walking to the ring these days. But you never know, he could surprise us all.

If and when he does come back, I just hope they use him wisely and not screw it up like they usually do.

 

[Hoke Hogan]

I don't know that I would call Batista's last return a total flop. He was an effective heel after they turned him and got great heat. I think that fans will get behind him in a feud with Lesnar, he's got a lot of good will coming off of Guardians..

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Batista as the returning hero to dethrone Orton as WWE WHC was a massive flop, and I have no doubts we'll see the same train wreck disaster again, if WWE tries to push Batista as a face. You're taking a chance of turning the top heel on the roster into a face (especially with Heyman at his side), because you can't rule out the possibility of the fans booing the crap out of Batista again.

I have a really hard time buying into the fans embracing Batista as face. I'm not saying it's impossible, and maybe just maybe enough time has passed to the point, where the fans will change their tune towards Batista, but I'll be shocked if it happens.

Also, I'm not sold on Guardians Of The Galaxy helping Batista's status with the fans. Think about Batista's exit. As a whiny heel (again), he "quit" (again), because Triple H wouldn't give in to his demands. On top of that, it's no secret Batista wanted to take time off to help promote GOTG, so there's a good chance for the circumstances surrounding his exit leaving a bad taste in the fan's mouths. They'll just see another part-timer, who left, and now he returns out of the blue for a main event spot, a possible run as WWE WHC, and after his time in the spotlight is up, it's only a matter of time before he leaves again.

 

[mkw1962]

Rumor has it that Batista is coming back in September and he will fight Brock at Survivor Series with Brock winning. I think Batista is suppose to come back as a face which could also set up HHH vs. Batista at Wrestlemania.

I don't think Batista as a face would ever work, unless they pair him with Reigns or Ambrose like they paired Kane with Bryan for him to be more likable.

Him being anti-The Authority won't be enough. He's going to need a legit co-sign otherwise we'll be in for another failed early 2014 face run from him again.

 

[Mustang Sally]

And most importantly, why waste the rub of the title on Batista when there are several young options who would actually benefit from it?

Plus, the WWE braintrust must have been legitimately shocked and dismayed at the negative reception received by Batista when he returned, as was big Dave himself.

Yes, it's easy to say this after the fact, but I never believed he was as huge a factor in WWE in his first go-around as many folks seemed to think. Certainly, he was never the guy who was going to lead a less-skilled opponent into a smooth match....rather, whomever faced him had to accommodate Batista's awkward, stilted ring maneuvers. When he left WWE, I remember shrugging my shoulders......who cared?

But when WWE brought him back and we watched him kiss the ring mat, I figured I must have been in the minority and that fans had been dying for him to return. Turns out I had it right in the first place.

So, I agree with the poster quoted above. WWE seems stuck with what is probably a bloated contract with Batista......there's that to deal with. But why try to force him down our throats as a desirable challenger for Brock......or for whomever has the title by the time Batista's ready to come back? Lesnar is facing only the elite-of-the-elite; management isn't going to waste a rare Brock appearance on someone whom fans aren't interested in.

In other words, if Batista is ever to get a title shot, someone else is gonna have to be the champion.

 

[TDFG]

I think Batista will get his title shot, his return as a face needs to have a conflict of sorts with the authority, coming to Cena or Reigns aid.

Orton should get his title shot to, but he needs built up again, he's lost quite a few PvP matches this year so he needs a few more in the win column.

 

[NegativeFeedback]

I am expecting Batista vs. Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble. People are saying that fans won't back Batista, but I disagree. The only reason he was booed last year was because his return came at the expense of Daniel Bryan. Daniel's gone now, and Batista just had a very successful movie where he entertained millions of people worldwide. He can easily come back and go after Lesnar. Plus, Batista is in a putting-over mood, so I expect Brock to kick his ass six ways to Sunday.

 

[LBGetBack]

If Bryan beats Lesnar at WM31 I will riot in my moms basement.

Batista flopped because he's NOT GOOD. There was nothing impressive about anything he did in that return. He's old and terrible, and nobody wants to see him in title matches.

 

[Pedigree1]

Let me say this with a resounding Hell No!! If WM XXX was any indicator,the fans would totally shit all over this idea.. Batista was Boo'd upon his return to the Royal Rumble totally unexpected im sure on Batista's part and the WWE's part.. Batista is clearly not wanted by the fans at all IMO.

Batista wont be the one to conquer the one who defeated the one,and put the 1 in the 21-1. Batista when motivated though,is very interesting and that batista can hang with anyone.. But this current Batista no thank you.. We all assume that Cena will regain his title at NOC but we all could be wrong..

Of course though,JH said if the WWE wants it to happen and Bootista is on board,then it will happen regardless if we like it or not

WWE would have to be insane to think that it would work. Would be a complete filler feud. Everyone knows Batista isn't winning the title off of Brock. And if it's a filler feud.....well, the match better be really good. Somehow I doubt that would be the case.

Batista could have a place on the card. Why does he have to come back in title matches every time? He's NOT that dude. He's not The Rock. He's not Lesnar. He's not that major. He should have the same role Jericho usually does(just let him win more, so the outcomes are less predictable) on the card when he comes back.....midcard feuds to help younger wrestlers get over by feuding with a big name).

 

[Diss]

Its literally one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of.
Batista is washed up now. Fans are not going to get behind him at all. If WWE wants to get Brock heat and be the badass he is putting him against Batista is not the answer. Fans will turn on Batista and root for Brock.
Plus I think the match itself would be just terrible. I liked Batista little....5 years ago.
That being said it will probably happen.
