As most people were expecting the heavyweight championship to change hands this past Sunday, something more impressive came to light. Batista was seconds away from becoming the new champion but came up just short after Rey Myseterio broke up a pin-fall that would have awarded him the belt. Next, Dave telling his so-called best friend that he was going to "rip his head off" came at a complete surprise. What a perfect way for the much anticipated heel turn by taking out the person who you have won countless matches fighting beside. It appears that "The Animal" has finally snapped.
This could be the start of a great feud between little Rey and Batista. I was kind of disappointed in movement of Dave from Raw to Smackdown because I was afraid of having a second John Cena type of character on the best show WWE has to offer at the moment. This heel turn is exactly what Batista needs and the blue brand could use. Batista has become the lovable teddy bear with a big heart. But now he can feed off of his body size and just destroy people in his war path. It may even be possible to see Orton and Batista wrestling together sometime in the near future which could excite some old evolution fans.
When a person's character becomes a little stale, a face or heel turn could reboot their career and develop a new fan base. Let's see how the writers do with what they have to work with in "The Animal". In the past two year there has been two very successful heel turns; Jericho and Punk. Both have perfected the bad guy persona. Batista can now officially say "I walk alone" and it could be the best thing for him.
Until Next Time..
