Anyone else thinking that Lesnar/Batista will be the title match (and main event) at Wrestlemania XXX?
The way Lesnar is running through the biggest men in the company like Mark Henry and Big Show (the latter who was already rumored to face Brock at the Rumble, and from what we saw on Raw, it looks like that match is happening after all) is obviously pointing to another big guy being the one to step up and prove to be the one big monster that Lesnar can't tear through.
The booking would basically be as follows: Lesnar wins two brawls and breaks the arm of "The World's Strongest Man" and then runs through "The World's Largest Athlete" at the Rumble and then wins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a match that's termed the most brutal match in WWE history, which is the Elimination Chamber in February (that's the perfect way to transition the title from Orton to Lesnar since a straight up heel-versus-heel match isn't likely at all.) And that's where Batista steps in. He's the Rumble winner and from Lesnar and Heyman's point of view, he's just another big guy that Lesnar will run through, no different than Henry and Show and others. Easy to picture Heyman comparing their nicknames and pointing out that Lesnar is more than a mere animal and is a beast that not even Batista can handle, but come their clash at Mania, "The Animal" is the one who finally ends up taming "The Beast", winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the process.
Of course, all this talk about Lesnar going for the belt could just be to throw us off and make things more unpredictable heading into Mania season and they may simply be trying to make Lesnar as strong as possible for Taker (plus, I don't yet buy that Orton will be dropping the belt before Mania after the way he's been booked these past several months), but if not, Lesnar/Batista sounds awesome. I know some will complain about a part-timer versus a guy who's gonna be gone again by the end of the summer headlining the biggest Mania ever, but putting that aside, who else would be stoked if they down this route? (If Reigns was further into his push and on the crisp of winning the world title, then he'd be the perfect choice for this but oh well. I have an idea on how to book Reigns/Lesnar with this same logic but without the title involved but I won't type it out since this post is already long enough.)
