No Holds Barred Match: Triple H vs Batista (Triple H's career on the line)
Batista really wanted a match against Triple H, so much so that he was willing to ruin former Evolution teammate Ric Flair's 70th Birthday Party and subject himself to becoming a Spice Girls meme. As Batista dragged Flair throughout the backstage area like a predator drags its prey, The Game's blood boiled.
Eventually Batista showed up to RAW to explain himself and begged, "Give me what I want." Eventually Triple H obliged, but was so confident in victory that he even put his own career on the line. If Triple H loses this bout, it will be the last one he ever wrestles.

Don't count on that happening here despite Triple H not having been victorious in a WrestleMania match since his WrestleMania 31 victory over Sting. This is a farewell match of sorts for Batista, who has made it very clear for years that he wanted one final match against Triple H at WrestleMania.
Look for an intensely personal physical bout and for both aging Superstars to make full use of the No Holds Barred stipulation, but in the end Triple H will stand victorious over Batista. There are only two questions here: 1. Will Triple H's torn pectoral muscle hold up throughout the fight? and 2. Might we see a repentant Batista participate in an Evolution reunion after the match?
