WrestleMania 35: 4 steps to build Triple H vs. Batista  

Two weeks ago on Raw, one of the shocking moments on the show happened during Ric Flair's 70th birthday celebration when Batista returned and attacked Flair backstage. He then targeted Triple H who was waiting in the ring for Flair, saying into the camera, "Do I have your attention now?".

Ric Flair's birthday celebration had many big stars taking part. The likes of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Kurt Angle, Sting, Shawn Michaels, and even Triple H were in celebratory mood. All of them had a huge history with the 16-time World Champion.

As soon as Ric Flair's music hit, the camera suddenly cut backstage and we saw Batista dragging a cameraman towards Flair's locker room. Batista went inside the room and beat down Flair then pulled him outside.

This past week on Raw, Batista was advertised to appear and address his attack on Flair, but he didn't show up. Instead, he informed the fans through his Instagram account, that he does not like Philadelphia and that's the reason he won't come to Raw. But there was an appearance by Triple H who called out The Animal for a face-to-face for next week's show.

Now obviously, this is leading to a rumoured match between The Animal and The Game at WrestleMania 35. The entire angle during Ric Flair's party was planned weeks ago by WWE as a way to begin this rivalry. But how WWE builds it moving forward needs to be seen.

It is also rumoured that Batista will be "juggling" a movie role while building this feud, so he won't be making too many appearances on Raw. So, here are four steps to build this rivalry heading into the show of shows...

#4 Batista challenges Triple H to a match at WrestleMania 35; Vince McMahon fines Batista for attacking Ric Flair

The Animal was expected to make his first live appearance on this past week's Raw, but he didn't show up. He is expected to have a face-to-face with Triple H on next week's show, where he would definitely address his actions on Ric Flair. Batista can say that he already intended to interrupt Ric Flair's party, as a way to get under Triple H's skin.

He then can then go on to challenge The Game for a match at the Show of Shows. He can inform the fans that Triple H has never beat him and he will prove this to the entire world at WrestleMania that Batista is better than Triple H.

Batista could then get interrupted by Vince McMahon who will come out to appreciate The Animal's return to WWE. Then he can inform him this isn't the same WWE as it was when Batista left, things have changed and now there are consequences for every wrong action that happens in WWE.

Ric Flair's birthday celebration was completely tarnished when he put his hands on The Nature Boy. Batista's actions weren't acceptable and therefore he is fining him $100,000 for attacking a retired Hall of Famer and disrupting a celebration on Raw.

Vince McMahon could say that if Batista doesn't pay his fine, he will not be allowed to compete in WWE. then Batista could threaten Vince McMahon, by saying he will do exactly what he did to Ric Flair if the boss asks him to pay this fine. This heats up The Game, which leads him to pedigree Batista out of nowhere.

#3 Triple H accepts the challenge with an added condition, Batista's career will be on the line; The Animal attacks Vince McMahon backstage

WWE could advertise an appearance by Triple H for the following Raw, to address the challenge put forward by Batista.

At the show, Triple H could show his anger for The Animal threatening his father-in-law last week, by doing this Batista has made this rivalry personal.

The Game accepts Batista's WrestleMania challenge only under one condition if he is ready to put his entire WWE career on the line. If he loses, he will never return as an in-ring performer again.

As soon as Triple H says this, cameras cut backstage and found Batista dragging Vince McMahon, then Batista looks at the camera and says to Triple H, one by one he will take down all of his loved ones. Triple H runs backstage to check his father-in-law.

#2 Ric Flair confronts Batista; The Animal is ready to put his career on the line only if Triple H is ready to put his career on the line as well

Since Batista will also be doing a movie shoot, he won't be available for every show. In the meantime, WWE can play video packages of past rivalries between Triple H and Batista, so that it can give newer fans knowledge about the history between the duo.

WWE can advertise Ric Flair returning to confront Batista after he attacked him a few weeks back. Flair will finally return to Raw and inform the fans that he has recovered after Batista's attack and wants to talk The Animal face-to-face.

Batista could come out and tell Flair before he addresses him, that he wants to address Triple H's stipulation for their match. He could inform Flair and the fans that he is ready to put his career on the line at WrestleMania but only if The Game puts his career on the line as well.

Then Batista could tell Flair that he has a lot of respect for him, but he doesn't respect Triple H at all. But he would never attack Flair again if he leaves Triple H and joins him. Flair will say that he will join Batista but he needs to apologize him first.

This would make Batista angry and he would brutally assault Flair, throwing him towards the barricade and smashing his head on the ring post. Then Batista could put a chair under the neck of Flair until Triple H runs out to help and Batista escapes through the crowd.

#1 A final contract signing between Triple H and Batista for a No Holds Barred Loser Retires Match with Ric Flair as the special guest referee

It would then become official that both Triple H and Batista's careers will be on the line at WrestleMania, with the match being a No Holds Barred contest. The go-home show of Raw before WrestleMania will advertise a contract signing between both the superstars.

The Game and The Animal will come once again face-to-face, there are security guards all over the ring who are separating the duo. As soon as both Batista and Triple H sign the contract, Ric Flair's music will hit.

Flair will come to the ring to announce that there is another stipulation added to this No Holds Barred Loser Retires match, which is he will be the special guest referee for this contest. This will irritate Batista and he nearly attacks Flair again.

But Triple H will take down Batista and a huge brawl will break out between the duo, while the security tries to separate them. All the superstars from the back will run out to stop this fight. Finally, both the stars get separated with both looking at each other as the show goes off the air.
