I Think... (Mania Main Event)
 

... that Batista has been guaranteed the Rumble win and the title win at Mania. I now believe that this was the agreement for him to come back. I think the WWE chased him and gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. Unfortunately that now means that the WWE has written themselves into a corner. They never even considered the boos.

Maybe that makes them a little less blameless? No foresight, yeah, maybe stupid, yeah, but maybe not as stubborn as people are making out...

Still wondering if people think it is plausible though that Batista was guaranteed all of this before coming back, or do people really think WWE simply don't want to change their minds.

Oh well, mods can feel free to delete this!

I could see it either way.
