5 reasons why WWE's Vince McMahon wants to push Batista as a heel

In what was a genuinely marvelous strategy to end Monday Night Raw, WWE has now effectively planted the seeds for a monumental dream match between Triple H and the returning Batista.

Both icons got into a heated confrontation earlier at the 1000th episode of SmackDown Live, which was cooled by 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair.

With the Animal brutally ambushing Ric Flair in front of a global audience and coercing the Cerebral Assassin to notice, it seems ideal that these two collide at WrestleMania 35 this year.

Batista's startling return has broken the internet. Moreover, his heel turn has sparked a lot of debate around the internet wrestling community, with many claiming it to be a wrong move from Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

Considering that the turn has perfectly drawn the lines between Triple H and Batista, WWE's decision to present the former World Heavyweight Champion as a villain in this rivalry seems as reasonable as contentious.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 5 reasons why Vince McMahon wants to push Batista as a heel.

#1 His last babyface run failed to gravitate the right amount of attention

Let's get this straight - Batista's last involvement inside the squared circle as a singles superstar was a disaster.

Vince McMahon's idea of pushing the Animal to the top of the mountain instead of Daniel Bryan coerced the WWE Universe to turn on the former World Heavyweight Champion.

Batista's victory at Royal Rumble 2014 was vehemently criticized by the entire wrestling world, and the backlash suffered could have led Vince to make an alarming decision.

Considering that a return as a babyface was certainly expected, turning him heel could only be to avoid the past creative mistakes and move ahead with Dave as a monstrous heel.

While his attack on Ric Flair struck a chord with the audience, we still don't have any clear explanation on how this will pan out.
