If Batista were to come back now, would you cheer or boo him in a feud against Reigns?

It's crazy how Batista last year was THE most hated guy, yet things change very quickly in a year and now it seems to be Roman. I'm curious to know if the hatred against Batista has cooled down(especially since he was AWESOME in Guardians of the Galaxy), or if you guys hate him just as much as you did last year and would still boo him and cheer Reigns.

Of course I'd cheer, Batista is superior to :reigns in practically every single way, except DA LOOk I guess.
It's funny, people seem to forget that Batista was poised to start a new boom period for the WWE until he was injured and had to vacant his first world title.

Also people booed Batista not because who he was. But because he was booked to win the rumble, when they spent all year hinting at Bryan.
Reigns was also booed because of the booking. I have no problem with Roman but I still wanted to see any other guy win because it so f'in obvious.

EDIT: And to answer the question - I'd root for Reigns in this case. I've seen everything Batista can do and I don't think he has that much to offer at this point tbh.

Cheer.

I'd also cheer for a returning Muhammad Hassan against Reigns.

Well look, yes Reigns is a fresh face however as we have all made clear he is not the right face for now.

I personally never had a massive problem with Batista and if he came back I'd hope he was treated better than he was last time. Much like Reigns it wasn't his fault that WWE decided to use him in the wrong role at the wrong time.

For as long as WWE persist on using Reigns in a role they he is not ready for then he will be hated on. If and when he moves back down the card is when the fans will be more willing to accept him.

The fans are not complete idiots after all. Virtually no one was watching Smackdown and getting excited about Reigns speaking for 10 seconds and then having an 8 minute match with Big Show in which he struggled to keep with the pace.

They then witnessed Daniel Bryan manage to get a decent match out of Kane and blow the roof off the arena.

What are they supposed to think? One is obviously in a league above the other right now. WWE's refusal to accept this will hurt them financially. Every company in the world would be praying to get a commodity as hot as DB is right now but the idiots in charge are intent on not maximizing his potential because he doesn't look good on a poster.

He doesnt need to come back at all as I said. Age, muscle shrinking from roud use, poor mic skills, gassing out, overall destain from this guy should be sign to continue hid success in Hollywood. Even if he did come back his impact would be none existen. People need to let Batista go...the guy has zero to offer.

Batista was treated like shit in his last run. I've never seen so much disrespect in my life. Batista won me over though when he jobbed for most of his run. Tapped out at WM and put over Shield. What a guy! hope Dave comes back. But seems unlikely as he is making it big in Hollywood.

I would cheer as long as he's not in the title scene, nor main-event scene.
Just putting younger guys over i.e Rusev, Ambrose, Rollins etc..

Batista showed nothing but respect and class last year he actually worked on his cardio I couldnt notice by the time wrestlemania was around he entertained me with his attitude and he put many talent over like a champ something Cena does not understand I will defienietly cheer him over Reigns who does nothing for me the guy deserve it.
