Batista’s initial return was unlike any other that WWE had seen in recent years. He was brought back to win the Royal Rumble and reclaim the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 30 as a babyface. However, the fans quickly turned on him, and WWE had no choice but to make him a heel. His proposed title run never came to fruition, and he tapped out to Daniel Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania 30.
Now that his blockbuster movie “Guardians of the Galaxy” has been in theaters for nearly a month, Batista’s return could come sooner rather than later. He’s stated that he intends to remain a heel, and has mentioned Triple H and Titus O’Neil as wrestlers that he’d like to work with in his next run.
After spending the last two years as the top star in TNA, Bully Ray, which he became known as when he left WWE, is reportedly a free agent. While the wrestler still appears on TNA’s official website, his contract has expired, according to PWInsider.com. He left WWE in 2005 and hasn’t been back since.
In WWE, Bubba Ray and D-Von helped make the Dudley Boyz one of the top tag tams in the history of the company. In recent years, though, Bubba has become a star as a singles wrestler. He became, arguably, the best heel in the business, doing things that he never did in WWE. Now that he’s free to sign elsewhere, Bubba could look to get his WrestleMania moment as a singles star.
While Bubba could be a major asset to WWE and help put over the company’s rising stars, his age and history with current WWE superstars could make a return difficult. According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE isn’t interested in signing the 43-year-old, who isn’t favored by some in the company, including Randy Orton. Bubba recently said on “The Ross Report” that there was no major issue between the two, though Orton buried the former TNA champ in a 2008 interview.
