WWE Superstar Baron Corbin has voiced his support for the potential return of wrestling legend Batista to the WWE ring. Despite his successful transition to Hollywood, Corbin believes that Batista could find an opportunity during the current SAG-AFTRA strike to revisit his wrestling roots. Having last competed at WrestleMania 35, Batista’s retirement marked the end of an illustrious in-ring career. However, Corbin believes that his comeback, even if brief, would have a significant impact on both the WWE and the wrestling industry as a whole.
Batista’s Return: A Nostalgic Treat
With WWE increasingly welcoming back Hollywood icons like The Rock and John Cena, the return of Batista would undoubtedly electrify the WWE Universe. In fact, former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley has expressed his interest in facing off against Batista, recognizing the potential for a blockbuster event. The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which has temporarily put wrestler-actors’ careers on hold, could provide the perfect window for Batista to make a brief comeback. Such a return would not only generate mainstream media attention but also significantly boost WWE’s profile and contribute to the wrestling industry as a whole.
A Financial Boon for WWE
At the age of 54, Batista has carved out a prominent niche in the entertainment world outside of WWE, particularly in major blockbuster franchises. His temporary return to wrestling would not only be a treat for nostalgic fans but also a considerable financial opportunity for the WWE. The increased viewership and Pay-Per-View numbers that would come with a Batista comeback could have a significant impact on the company’s revenue. In an industry hungry for epic match-ups and larger-than-life characters, the return of Batista, even if only for a short time, would be a win-win situation for everyone involved, especially the WWE Universe. Ultimately, the decision now lies with Batista himself.
