During an appearance during the recent Wizard World Comic-Con held in Philadelphia, Batista confirmed a Fall WWE return. Batista, who has not been seen on WWE television since June 2, was asked if he would be returning to the ring following his current promotional tour for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” in which he responded with a resounding yes.

Batista, who’s last match was at WWE “Payback” on June 1, “quit” WWE during the June 2 edition of “Monday Night Raw” in order to be written off of WWE television. “The Animal” is currently engaged in promotional dates for his role in the upcoming Marvel film, where he plays intergalactic thug-hero-alien, Drax the Destroyer.

The former WWE Champion was also asked if he would be teaming with or battling against his former partners in Evolution upon his return. Batista responded with a smile and teased that there would be interaction in the ring between himself, Triple H, and Randy Orton this Fall.

With WWE Creative wanting to “stack the deck” for “SummerSlam” and “Night Of Champions,” Batista is expected to be back with the company in time to compete at one of, if not both of these events. WWE is currently looking to book “Night Of Champions” as sort of a WrestleMania-esc “mega-show,” in order to get current subscribers to the WWE Network to sign a new agreement for the service, as well as bring in new subscriptions altogether.

Editor’s Note:
Good to know we’ll have another main eventer by then. Let’s just hope two months off doesn’t bring back the ring-rust he had just recently shook off.
