batista may go to smackdown

[Impact!]

on the adds for the wrestlemania revenge tour, it has never once mentioned batista coming to australia. its mentioned HHH, orton, jericho, benoit, and trish but no batista, which i find funny for the fact that if he stays on raw he'll probably be the champ.


the only reasons i can see him going to smackdown is

a) so cena, and JBL get more attention in the main event.

and

b) after mania they'll combine the rosters or go back to the original 1 heavyweight title for both shows, which would set up batista vs HHH to combine the championships.

I know it's probably nothing i just find it weird.

The brand split will never end.

Never.

And Batista will not go to Smackdown. There is no way.

If Batista goes to Smackdown!, I'll sign the papers to have Vince committed.

If Batista goes to Smackdown!, I'll sign the papers to have Vince committed to me having me kick him in the nuts.

I actually like the idea of Batista going to SmackDown!, and yes, I have been watching RAW.

If Batista vs. Triple H happens in the main event at WrestleMania, then it means JBL will defend against John Cena, and the title win may be overlooked. Batista will come out looking superior to Cena (again), and if there is going to be a redraft after Mania, you have one of your World Champions looking weaker than the other. The only way to counter-act that is to send a stronger card to Cena's brand, which leaes Batista's brand looking weaker, which is the problem with the current RAW/SD! scenario.

If Batista faces Triple H in the main event, I believe very strongly that JBL should retain his WWE Championship. Either that or The Big Show wins the WWE Championship at No Way Out, and we have Show vs. Cena at WM#2, this time for the WWE Championship. I suppose JBL could retain, then with some interference, and some screwjobs, Cena LOSES at No Way Out to Angle, and Michaels is added to the main event. JBL vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels wouldn't be epic, but it would be an interesting way to get the WWE Championship away from JBL.

Anyway, I believe Cena's "big win" has to be different from Batista's if it is going to happen on the same night. The current situations of both men are very similiar, and by putting them in seperate matches you downplay the importance of JBL's win.

They'll probably just put JBL vs. Cena on after Batista's match with Triple H to call it even. :-\

[snakeboss]

It just seems that they're taking this Batista VS JBL thing too far to call it off on Raw on Monday. Maybe Batista will move to Smackdown win the title at Wrestlemania, Triple H will lose at Wrestlemania and then Batista will tell Theodore Long to get Triple H transferred to Smackdown and tell him he knows he set the videos and everything up and they continue their rivalry on Smackdown.

[Volchok]

he's not going to Smackdown.. this Monday its all gonna come out that HHH set everything up.. the Videos, the limo, everything..

I dont see how Cena beating HHH will do anymore for his push then beting JBL would. JBL has been built up for 9 months, I'm sure the fans are dying to see him lose. With HHH, I think they are just sick of seeing him. If anything, Cena has a better chance to get over as SD champion than RAW champion because on RAW HHH would eventually come back and kill his momentum like he did with Benoit and Orotn in '04.

The only thing I agree with is that it might make both title wins seem a little less special if they happen on the same night.

It's not beating JBL, it's when he beats JBL. The fans will be dying to see it, yes, but if it hyappens prior to Batista beating Triple H, it is pretty much the same scenario only one is the huge main event, and the other one is below it.

Triple H is seen as the mega-heel of the WWE. He can put on better matches (from a technical standpoint). Cena defeating Triple H isn't much better, but at WrestleMania, fans might see Cena winning the World Heavyweight Championship as a great accomplishment, while they'll see Batista beating JBL as more of a grudge thing.

RAW is seen as a little bit better than SD! by pretty much everybody, as is the World Heavyweight Championship. Batista going to SD! would be for Evolution and just to destroy JBL's work by ending his run (from a storyline point of view). Triple H would probably be still seen as THE World Champion, which allows someone to take his title without taking away form Batista beating JBL.

[Kane Knight]

Yes. Argue whether or not Batista will go to Smackdown based upon adverts.

:roll: Retards.

[Gouda]

One possible scenario:

Batista goes to Smackdown, beats JBL. It is revealed on Raw that HHH did it all and set up the whole thing with the videos and limo.

HHH is just like "Na na na! You can'tget me!"

But then in the post Mania draft Batista gets put back onto Raw (having to vacate the WWE title since it is exclusive to SD) and HHH is all like "Oh shit" and Batista is all like "GAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!"

I don't much like this idea, but whatever. It's the WWE.

[Kane Knight]

One Possible scneario:

Batista goes to Smackdown, only to get screwed out of his title victory by Bob Holly. Hardcore hates people getting elevated faster than him, so he ends up in a Jobber feud on velocity. In 6 months time, most of the rassling world has forgotten Batista.

Triple H puts another layer of superglue on the belt and laughs...

[Corkscrewed]

^ :rofl:

It really is good to have you back.


Anyway, they'd be morons to put Batista against JBL, especially after building up his feud with HHH for months now. Besides, Cena has been booked so well he has twice as much credibility as JBL, even though he's the US Champ.

And if he wins the WWE Championship while still holding the US Title, that'll make him into a supercredible star.
