The Animal is Back

After almost 4 years of being away, Batista, also known as, David Michael "Dave" Bautista, Jr., has come back to join his family at the WWE. Debuting on Monday night Raw on December 23, 2013, with a stunning resemblance to the singer Pitbull, Batista brought the crowd to their feet when he cut off Randy Orton mid speech to come out. As Randy Orton babbled on about being "great" with his championship, something we have heard enough about as he whines and complains every week, Batista has something else in mind. Informing Orton that he was going to take the championship from Orton one day, Batista was ready to rumble; his plan was to win the Royal Rumble, pay per view. 

Sunday, January 26, 2014, the night of the Royal Rumble and Batista was looking for the win. One by one superstars entered the ring beginning with CM Punk and their goal was to throw their opponents over the rope and be the last one standing. Out of thirty entrant, Batista was number twenty eight. With a bit of an advantage for being one of the last ones, Batista had a bit more energy than the other superstars like CM Punk who stayed in from the beginning. 

As superstars flew over the rope, the final four stood together in the ring eyeing down the championship. The final four, made up of The Shields, Roman Reigns, Sheamus, who just made his reappearance at the rumble, CM Punk who went through over twenty men and the animal, Batista. 

CM Punk and Sheamus were thrown over, Batista and Reigns stood face to face awaiting the championship, and Reigns was even recognized for setting a new single-elimination record of twelve. Through the sweat and pain, the final results and winner of the Royal Rumble was Batista. 

Just like he told Randy Orton on the night of his debut in December, Batista planned on winning the rumble, succeeded and is now determined to go all the way and win the championship. Which I mean, hey, might not be a bad thing because Batista might not complain as much as Orton does. Batista may actually use his strength to come out on top instead of relying on the higher authority like the scared baby, Orton.

It seems that instead of Orton and John Cena fighting over the championship, it may be Orton and Batista since Cena lost at the Royal Rumble. Only time will tell who comes out on top as the true champion, but for now, Batista has come back to the industry stronger and better than ever; he is ready to win and continue winning.
