5 interesting facts from the Batista-Triple H feud over the years

#3 Daniel Bryan defeated Triple H to go on and spoil Batista's WrestleMania dreams

From a storyline perspective, Triple H decreased the likelihood of Batista winning the main event of WrestleMania XXX. The Animal made a comeback to WWE ahead of the Show of Shows. He won the Royal Rumble and earned a title opportunity against Randy Orton.

However, in the background, Daniel Bryan had been cheated by the Authority over the past few months. Whenever Bryan came close to winning the big one, he was deceived by some unfair means to keep him away from the title. Thus, the fans got behind him and wanted him to be in the WrestleMania main event.

Eventually, Triple H agreed to insert Bryan into the main event between Randy Orton and Batista if he won a match against The Game himself at the same event. Bryan defeated Triple H and went on to gain a submission victory over Batista in the triple threat main event match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
