Monday Night Raw: Batista returns to WWE for first time in nearly four years

Batista's back - so does that spell disaster for Alberto Del Rio?

The Animal, The Beast Incarnate, The Eater of Worlds and The Cenation Leader will be on the final Raw before the Royal Rumble so their enemies had better be ready.

The 2014 Royal Rumble hits your screens live on Sky Sports Box Office on Sunday night but the physicality is unlikely to be held off until the weekend as the red brand rolls into Ohio.
No matches have yet been announced for tonight's show, but we do know that Batista will be making his first WWE appearance in almost four years and that Brock Lesnar will be in the house to address his Rumble showdown with Big Show.

Read below to discover why a host of Superstars could leave their foes in a crumpled heap...
THE ANIMAL - Batista will be in Sunday's Royal Rumble match but first may opt to lock horns with Alberto Del Rio after the Mexican's disparaging remarks about him in recent weeks. Will the powerhouse silence the Essence of Excellence?
THE BEAST INCARNATE - The last time Brock Lesnar and Big Show were in the same building the former was sent hurtling across the ring by the latter. Will The Anomaly garner revenge on Raw or will The World's Largest Athlete demonstrate his power once again?
THE EATER OF WORLDS - Bray Wyatt was betrayed and beaten up by Daniel Bryan in Rhode Island last week - much to the delight of the WWE Universe - and is not a happy chappy. Will the Wyatt Family leader seek retribution on the fan favourite tonight?
THE CENATION LEADER - John Cena is also seething after witnessing Randy Orton attack his father seven days ago, an assault which led to Cena Senior heading to hospital. Should The Viper expect a backlash in Ohio? That question was rhetorical, by the way...
Watch WWE Raw, 1am, Monday, Sky Sports 3 (Tuesday morning) or catch the repeat showing at 10pm on Sky Sports 2 on Thursday night.
