5 Reasons why Batista will face Triple H at WrestleMania 35 after attacking Ric Flair on WWE RAW

One of the big segments announced on WWE RAW was the celebration for Ric Flair's 70th birthday. WWE pulled all the stops and invited legends like Sting and Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat. With all the Superstars on the RAW roster on the entrance ramp waiting to greet Flair, his music hit. However, the 16-time world champion did not come out.

The camera soon cut to the back and we saw an enraged Batista. He burst into Ric Flair's locker room and closed the door. We heard sounds of a struggle from outside before Batista dragged Flair out by the collar before turning to the camera. He then addressed Triple H and asked him if this was what he wanted. We then saw 'The Game' rush to the back and go to the aid of the Nature Boy.

It is clear that we are now finally getting the match we've all been waiting for - Triple H vs Batista - one on one for one last time. In this article, we delve into the reasons behind the scenes as to why WWE finally booked this match for WrestleMania 35.
