5 Times Triple H was responsible for Locker Room heat on top Superstars

#3 Batista (Triple H's friend)

Much like Randy Orton, Batista also suffered heat from the locker room as he was 'chosen' to become a member of Evolution. However, unlike Randy Orton who was known to be brash and arrogant during his younger days, Batista was always humble and in fact, wanted to be accepted by the locker room. Speaking about his dilemma, Triple H revealed on the third episode of The Ruthless Aggression series on WWE Network that he told Orton and Batista that they shouldn't worry about what other Superstars think of them.

Dave, Randy, listen, let me talk to you guys. I pulled them in a room and I said, ‘So you are about to hit the hate button from everybody.’ Every single person in this room, they’re going to tell you, ‘Why man, this is a great opportunity,’ and they’re going to bury you. All of a sudden, everybody you thought was your friend, you’re going to find out they’re not your friends.

Triple H's advise rang true in the future as even though Orton and Batista were not exactly popular backstage, they did become multi-time World Champions in WWE.
