On the road to WrestleMania 35, Batista made his return to WWE and attacked WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair in the process. This was done to grab Triple H's attention, and a feud immediately kick-started between The Animal and The Game. A match was set for WrestleMania 35, under the "No Holds Barred" stipulation. Triple H exacted revenge for Batista's ruthless attack on Flair and defeated him in the marquee match. On an episode of Talk Is Jericho, Batista revealed that both he and Triple H wanted to settle the score inside Hell In A Cell, but Vince McMahon didn't share their sentiments.

Originally, we wanted a have a Hell In A Cell, but Vince McMahon, because of the pay-per-view, he didn’t want to have a Hell In A Cell, and we really wanted Hell In A Cell. They’re just great matches, they’re violent. We needed bells and whistles.

Batista and Triple H brawled for almost 30 minutes, and the latter won the match by hitting a Pedigree. Batista announced his retirement from pro-wrestling soon after.
