A segment was scripted into last Monday’s RAW from Green Bay that would have seen Batista turn heel but it was pushed back to Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings and toned down a bit.

The original plan was for Randy Orton to come out and talk about how fans boo Batista and like him more than they do Batista. That and a loss to Alberto Del Rio was supposed to be the breaking point for Batista to go “ape shit” on the fans to turn heel. The idea was that Orton “unleashed The Animal.”

The decision was made to tone the segment down for RAW. Even before he actually turned on SmackDown, the idea was to do a few segments and matches over the next week or so to build to the heel turn but they went ahead with it.

Why did they nix this? I honestly think it would have been great

It seems they only do heel/face turns on SmackDown these days, probably because they can edit the fans' reaction and the crowd is less smarky. Big E, Titus and now Batista all turned on SD!

Yeah, it's really weird that they are turning them on Smackdown. It's like they are trying to get people to think Smackdown is important.

wait Big E turned? heel? or you mean a long time back when he first turned face?

I noticed the fans were booing him when he took out Cesaro like a fucking dick.

edit: wait, I don't really give a shit about BIg E.
