#3 Make Batista look like a villain
Bad guy 101
That's the line Triple H uttered a couple of weeks ago when Batista refused to show up for a face to face confrontation and that also seems to be exactly what WWE was going with during this segment with Triple H.

In fact, between Triple H making Batista out to be a snobby movie star and The Animal still giving demands before agreeing to the match, it's obvious what WWE is doing here.
What is also obvious however is that WWE isn't going out of its way to make Triple H look like the good guy either. Instead, he admitted to holding people back during his promo on Raw this week, which has to make one wonder why WWE would make Triple H out to be so villainous when he should be the clear cut hero.
In the end, Batista no showing and giving a letter of demands is the perfect way to garner heel heat from fans. Its also going to make what could have been just a filler into one of the most must-watch matches on the entire card.
