5 legends who could special guest referee the match between Triple H and Batista

This past week on WWE RAW, we saw the shocking return of Batista, who attacked Ric Flair before the 70-year-old's birthday on RAW, hosted by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Batista attacked the Nature Boy to send a message to The Game, that he is ready for a challenge.

Following last year's SmackDown 1000 episode, where Batista, and the other three members of Evolution were in the ring, The Animal challenged Triple H to a match - a match that will come to fruition soon.

This match between Batista and Triple H will most likely take place at WrestleMania 35 later this year.

A match of this magnitude, between two legitimate megastars of the WWE could maybe be hyped even more by the addition of a guest referee.

Here are 5 legends who could guest referee match between Triple H and Batista:

---

#5 Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon was a guest referee three years ago in a match between Sheamus and Roman Reigns

WWE could maybe use their power and clout to use one of the McMahon family members to be the special guest referee in the match, to make life harder for Batista.

Vince McMahon could very well be the special guest referee in a match between Triple H, his son-in-law, and Batista, having donned the role several times previously. The last time that Vince McMahon was a special guest referee on WWE was three years ago on RAW, when he officiated the match between Roman Reigns and Sheamus.

And on a stage like WrestleMania, the addition of McMahon could add to the spectacle as well as make things interesting in the match between Batista and Triple H.

#4 The Rock

The Rock was rumoured to be at WrestleMania 35

On this week's WWE RAW, several reports indicated that The Rock was backstage, promoting the movie he produced, "Fighting with my Family" but didn't come on screen.

There has been speculation over the past few months that the Holywood star would be involved in a match at WrestleMania 35, but there has been no build to any match involving The Rock.

The Rock is a global icon, having had numerous hits on the silver screen, and perhaps WWE could tap into his drawing power by booking him for WrestleMania 35, but in an officiating role.

This would ensure that the match is called down the middle, and also adds star power to the blockbuster match. Perhaps we could also see The Rock turn on one person at the end of the match and set up a potential future match!

#3 Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon as referee

Like her father, Stephanie McMahon has also been a guest referee previously. In fact, it was a match featuring her husband, Triple H (although they were not on the same page back then), and Kurt Angle way back at the No Way Out PPV in 2002.

Stephanie could insert herself in the match to sway the odds in her husband's favour by becoming a referee for the match.

She already has huge heat from the WWE Universe due to her ejecting Becky Lynch from her match at WrestleMania against Ronda Rousey, while also having troubles with Rousey. She is currently a heel in the WWE, and she could maybe use her heelish ways to help her husband win the match as a referee, which would make things very interesting in the match.

This is a match that will mostly go in the favour of Batista, and with the odds against his favour (if there is a special guest referee) the crowd will be cheering for him to triumph.

#2 Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels as special guest referee

If there's one legend that is most qualified to be a special guest referee from this list, it is Shawn Michaels. HBK has been a special guest referee on numerous occasions in WWE, refereeing as recently as last year in an NXT match between Drew McIntyre and Adam Cole for the NXT Championship in 2018.

Michaels has refereed high-profile matches in the past, including a match between The Undertaker and Triple H WrestleMania XXVIII, which The Deadman won.

From a storyline point of view, this makes sense. Michaels can be aggrieved that Batista attacked his hero and idol in Ric Flair, while also wanting to help his good friend, Triple H, win the match.

Michaels, like The Rock or Vince McMahon, would add tremendous star power to the match, and his antics in the ring could make for exciting viewing.

#1 Ric Flair

Ric Flair was attacked by Batista this week

A special guest referee that makes for a sensible choice in the Triple H-Batista storyline is Ric Flair, who has been at the heart of this feud.

Flair, who was a member of Evolution, alongside Batista, Triple H, and Randy Orton, split The Animal and The Game up at the SmackDown 1000 show, when it seemed like the two would come to blows.

And on this week's RAW, Flair was the victim as Batista brutally attacked The Nature Boy to get Triple H's attention.

Flair, who has had some health scares, is back to his best and could make for a great addition to the match, to spice things up between the two. Flair's iconic music would get a humongous pop at WrestleMania 35, and like the other Superstars on this list, add huge star value to The Show of Shows.
