Batista on way to ‘WrestleMania’
February 6, 2005

Fans always complain there are not enough big stars, and the WWE should pay whatever it takes to have guys like Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan on the roster. What most don’t consider is that at any moment the next big superstar could break through and start a long run.
Dave Batista was lightly knocking on the door when he joined Evolution more than a year ago — but last Sunday night at the ”Royal Rumble,” Batista kicked in the door and took the whole house down with it. By winning the Rumble match (eliminating John Cena to finish it off), Batista has stamped his ticket to the ”WrestleMania” main event and now must choose what title he wants — HHH’s World Title or JBL’s WWE Championship.
It’s a tough call, but I think Batista will have no choice but to take on HHH at Mania for the ”Raw” title. Hunter says that is what Evolution wants — but don’t think Batista and HHH will meet as friends. Evolution will crumble in the next two weeks, and the HHH- Batista feud will be one for the ages.
