Batista has been wanting this match since SmackDown 1000
Ever since Batista turned heel on his best friend Rey Mysterio back in 2009, he has been nailing the role of a dastardly heel. His promos have become way more real, often breaking the 4th wall and actually making the fans boo him out of the building.

His attack on a helpless Ric Flair didn't sit well with the WWE Universe, and Batista has finally got what he had been wanting since a long time: a chance to retire Triple H at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The bout was set this past week on Raw, and is going to be a No Holds Barred match. Although Triple H and Batista have faced off at WrestleMania before, this is a completely different scenario, with Batista being a heel and Triple H being the white-hot babyface. Much like the street fight between The Undertaker and Triple H at WrestleMania 17, this match could be an incredibly brutal encounter between two behemoths.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
