After Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble match, Triple H tried to persuade him to challenge JBL for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21.

Triple H even orchestrated a fake attack on Batista by trying to run over Batista in a Limo resembling the one used by JBL. However, Batista came to know about Triple H’s ploy after overhearing Ric Flair and Triple H discussing the fake attempt in the locker room.

On the February 21st, 2005 episode of Raw there was a contract signing segment in which Eric Bischoff and Teddy Long, the General Managers of Raw and SmackDown tried to have Batista sign the contract to face the champion of their respective brands.

In one of the most iconic contract-signing segments in WWE history, Batista attacked his Evolution stablemates and chose to stay on Raw and challenge Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21.

Fans in the arena went beserk after Batista's 'thumbs down' and that is a sign he has adapted since to signify it is time to hit the Batista bomb.
