This shouldn't come as any surprise, but Batista and Triple H are very close friends.

Interestingly though, Batista's SmackDown debut in 2002 would come at the expense of The Game, though the future Drax the Destroyer would join Evolution the next year.

Under the King of Kings' tutelage, the Animal would quickly rise through the ranks on Monday Night RAW, winning the 2005 Royal Rumble, and turning on his mentor.

Meeting in the main event of WrestleMania 21, Batista would dethrone Triple H, something The Game was happy to do, to see his protege take the top spot.

Reuniting on the odd occasion years later, a rumored WrestleMania 35 between the two was in the works, before Triple H's injury at Crown Jewel has thrown any future plans for the two up in the air.
