#3 Roman Reigns
People like Roman Reigns, John Cena and Charlotte Flair can accomplish anything and everything in kayfabe. If Batista needs a retirement match, Roman might be one of the first people that WWE creative would think about to get the job done. To be fair, this would be a nice idea. Roman Reigns needs a major kayfabe win after missing months of action when he bravely defeated Leukemia in real life for the second time.
This could be booked in multiple ways. One way could be similar to the one described in the previous slide. Batista gets the belt in a fatal four-way at the pay-per-view succeeding WrestleMania. A number-one-contender match between Roman, Seth, and Brock is then booked for the next pay-per-view which Roman wins by pinning Rollins.
Roman then beats Batista at Extreme Rules. He grants Batista a rematch at Summerslam with the latter's career on the line and defeats him yet again after a hard-fought match. He shows respect to Dave who thanks the fans and officially hangs up his boots.
