4 Reasons why Triple H vs. Batista is now a stipulation match

#2 Keep the storyline moving without Batista

Triple H was able to keep the feud going with a letter from Batista!

It's no secret that movie stars are busy people and that probably at least has something to do with why Batista wasn't on Raw this week.

While it's not known exactly why Batista wasn't able to make WWE's flagship show this week, one can probably venture a guess that it had to do with his schedule.

With that being said and WWE still needing to move the storyline between Triple H and Batista forward heading into WrestleMania 35, it makes sense that WWE would introduce a new stipulation in The Animal's absence.

Not only did it move the storyline a little further down the road and cover up Batista absence, but it also allows WWE to do the final confrontation between the two next week on Raw.

In all honesty, its the perfect move by WWE and adds another interesting layer to what is already a very volatile feud between the two.

In the end, the company didn't have much of a choice if Batista legitimately wasn't able to make it this week, and doing the letter bit between Triple H was the perfect filler to keep things going.
