On a recent edition of his “Something To Wrestle With” podcast, WWE executive Bruce Prichard discussed a dream matchup between Batista and Brock Lesnar.
While both heavyweights emerged as top talents during WWE’s Ruthless Aggression Era, they never got the chance to face each other in the ring.
Prichard said, “Timing kids, timing. It’s all about timing, wrong place, wrong time. I think that could have been one of those that you build up for years before you finally do it. They were in that same kind of era too.”
Lesnar left WWE after losing to Goldberg at WrestleMania XX in 2004. Batista became a main event Superstar after beating Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXI.
When Batista returned to WWE in early 2014, Lesnar was already back in the company at that point, but The Animal quit in the summer following a short-lived reunion of Evolution.
