Batista appears to be returning to WWE for WrestleMania 30. Radio advertising for the February 16th house show in Las Vegas, Nevada is advertising him as being booked. The Wrestling Observer reports that he will be returning for the full WrestleMania season.
It's worth noting that Batista's new film, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, opens on August 1st which will give his appearances through WrestleMania a good chance for the film to get some early marketing to WWE fans.
PWInsider reports that they have confirmed with sources inside the company that Batista will be returning. One source believes Batista was coming back as a surprise entrant at the Royal Rumble, which the ads have now spoiled.
The site says that Batista had been talking about a return as far back as last spring but was unable to do anything because of his acting career, including Riddick and Guardians of the Galaxy. He has been wanting to come back for a final run in the company. One source believes he will be working with WWE until he is needed for promotional work for Guardians of the Galaxy.
Opinionated View- There are times I like Batista but I was really bored of him by the time he left. And honestly at the end I think he stopped caring and was just cashing a check. He's admitted he hated the PG direction of the company and had sworn in the past to not return until it was over. But mania is going to read more like a best of DVD listing than a card of the current roster. Triple H and Vince are rumored to wrestle as is Brock Lesner. Taker will no doubt show up for big check and IWC blow job. Shawn Michaels is reportedly going to wrestle. With idiots chanting you still got it at him I'm sure freaking Goldust will finally get that match with Cody. Now you add Batista and I'm sure Jericho and RVD will be popping up to try and cash in.
