Batista may have helped Triple H in 2003, but by early 2005, things were much different.
After winning the Royal Rumble match, Batista had two choices: either jump to SmackDown and face WWE Champion JBL, or stay on RAW, which would put him against the Game.
As Evolution brothers, the Cerebral Assassin clearly wanted Batista to jump to SmackDown, though many wondered whether the Game was afraid that he couldn't beat the Animal he had reared.
After Batista discovered it was his mentor that had tried to run him down (with JBL's limo), the Animal's mind was made up.
Attacking his mentor, Batista signed to stay on RAW, and vowed to take the World Heavyweight Championship.
Within weeks, Batista would dethrone the Game, and would usher in a new era in WWE.
