4 better candidates than Batista to retire Triple H 

WrestleMania 35 is on our minds as the world awaits for the spectacle to unfold. With all the excitement, thrill, and exuberance around it, there remains one major question prior to Mania: is it Game over?

Triple H faces the match of his life as his career is on the line at WWE WrestleMania 35 where he faces his former friend and teammate, Dave Batista.

The Game has indulged in a rivalry with Batista before and the two are set to recreate the fire once more. Batista has clearly stated his desire to end Triple H's in-ring career at the showcase of immortals and it makes us wonder whether it really would be best for business?

Here we list down 4 men who would've been better fits to retire Triple H than 'The Animal' Batista.

#1 Randy Orton

Triple H and Randy Orton have faced each other on numerous occasions

Who else but Randy Orton! The Viper goes way back with Triple H, as the two have innumerable eye-popping stories between them.

The two former allies have gone from rock-solid allies to bitter rivals in their historic past and there is not a single doubt about their rivalry being labeled as utterly phenomenal.

From main eventing WrestleMania to being the final 2 participants in a Royal Rumble, Orton has done it all with the Game. It all started back in their Evolution days together when a young Randy Orton climbed to the top under the guidance of Triple H.

The Viper was hot property as he then became the youngest world heavyweight champion, only to be betrayed by Triple H mere moments after capturing gold. Since then the two have clashed on numerous occasions and have displayed serious on-screen animosity towards each other.

Back in 2009, Orton infamously attacked the entire McMahon family, to which Triple H retaliated by breaking into Orton's house to get his hands on the Legend Killer.

Counting their mesmerizing instances together might take a lot of time, but to put it straight, Orton will be the perfect candidate to retire Hunter.

Triple H has had a remarkable in-ring career and if anybody - or shall we say, if any former Evolution member deserves to be the one who retires the Game, then it should be Randy Orton.

Orton versus The Game sells for itself and the fact that it all started with Triple H's betrayal, does support Orton's case as an act of redemption, which will surely be well received by the ardent WWE followers.

#2 Seth Rollins

Triple H and Seth Rollins once used to be part of a dynamic stable named THE AUTHORITY

Remember the good old days when The Shield were powering their way to the top thanks to their unity, friendship, or what they used to call 'Brotherhood'?. Yeah, that didn't last for long!

The Hounds of Justice decimated Evolution, who many consider one of the greatest factions of all-time, and it looked like the three men were set to do more together, but back in there, was a man named Triple H who as always had a plan B to take out The Shield, and that plan came in the name of Seth Rollins.

Rollins betrayed his brothers, and thus the seeds were planted for a long-term association between Triple H and the Architect.

Ever since that point, the two have gone places with each other and their relationship seems to take another angle whenever they feature together.

Rollins got the name of Kingslayer when he defeated Triple H at WrestleMania and it's no secret that the Architect owes The Game for his immense contribution in Rollins' career.

Seth Rollins retiring Triple H would be an iconic sight, as the age-old mentor-protege story will be told by these 2 superstars.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor came through the ranks of NXT and by now the whole world knows that NXT is Triple H's home. The Game has been instrumental in NXT's rise and the ardent WWE followers have been pretty impressed by Hunter's work.

Not all NXT Superstars are given a chance to showcase their talent on the main roster but the ones who come knocking with their supreme in-ring prowess do get a chance for sure.

One such man was Finn Balor who gained appreciation from WWE enthusiasts for his tremendous quality, and in the process, he attained one man's attention - Triple H.

Triple H is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the world of sports entertainment and it's no secret that the Game enjoys a following like no other!

Imagine what an achievement it will be for someone like Finn Balor to be the one who retires Triple H - a 14-time world champion, and in the eyes of many - one of the greatest of all time!

Retiring Triple H will be a golden chance to put Finn over with the WWE Universe!

#4 CM Punk

Their acrimonious relationship is well documented

Things don't get any personal than this! Triple H and CM Punk have been quite vocal about their hostility, as the 2 often stood at loggerheads when it came to creative calls.

CM Punk has been rampant with words for WWE, as their acrimonious relationship is well documented and understood by WWE enthusiasts.

The only way WWE could bring back Punk to the company is by putting something humongous on the table, something he just can't resist!

And what better way to lure Punk to the company than give him a match with Triple H at the Grandest Stage of Them All! Imagine Punk returning only to battle Hunter in a bid to end Triple H's in-ring career.

This will be immensely personal, and this intriguing storyline needs no selling, simply because the animosity between the two is well known by the avid fans of WWE.

Triple H did defeat Punk in their previous clash, which happened at Night Of Champions in 2011, as the two headlined the show.

CM Punk is dearly missed by the WWE Universe, and getting him back to face Triple H will be outright spectacular.
