Chris Jericho and Batista faced each other inside 4 sides of steel on RAW in 2008. Batista decided to blade during the match, which was totally against WWE’s policy in the PG Era. To say Vince McMahon was livid is an understatement.

He called Jericho and Batista to a meeting backstage a few days later. A secret ceiling camera had captured Batista blading himself and McMahon was in no mood to forgive the animal.

Batista described what happened in a later interview:

"Then he starts passing out fines. So my fine was $100,000…My heart dropped. I thought it would be like $25,000…When he said $100,000, I was just heartbroken. I literally think that he sucked the life out of me that day. I think that's the day that I knew things were never going to be the same."

Jericho was also fined $5000 for the incident.
