Overall, he’s sure this event led to a good pay day for a lot of the workers, and he thinks WWE are thinking long term here. Perhaps they’ll be able to bring their female employees over in the years to come and that’ll be a huge deal.

Multiple dirt sheets have reported that Batista talked with WWE about working with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania this year, which would have lead to Triple H versus Batista at WrestleMania next year. According to Batista, he talked to Triple H and WWE for 3 weeks and then suddenly then stopped answering him.

Ryback notes that Batista seems to have a good relationship with WWE but he understands Batista’s frustration after being simply ignored by the company. Maybe Triple H and the company decided to go a different direction, but they could have at least talked to him about it.

He thinks a guy like Batista can come back as a heel or babyface, depending on how the crowd reacts to him, and make money for WWE. He thinks it’s strange that WWE wouldn’t see the value in Batista, especially given his successful film career. Batista is 50 years old now, so if he’s going to return for a final match it needs to happen soon.
