WrestleMania 35 Predictions: Triple H vs. Batista
Batista has always wanted one more match in WWE and at WrestleMania 35, he gets it in the form of 'the Game', Triple H.
The feud has been built on years of frustration from The Animal as he feels that Triple H manipulated him during their days in Evolution and always tried to hold him down.
A match between the two former members of Evolution was kicked off when Batista got 'the Game's' attention with an attack on Ric Flair at Flair's 70th birthday celebration on Raw a month ago.
The attack was to get Triple H's attention as Batista felt The King of Kings was ignoring his request over the years for one final match.
Triple H said he was so happy that Flair was alive after his health scare and that Batista took away The Nature Boy's chance to celebrate.
Well after the attack, Batista got his wish as Triple H accepted the challenge but made sure The Animal couldn't escape with a 'No Holds Barred' stipulation added to the match. Batista later sent a letter to Triple H that forced The Game to put his in-ring career on the line.
Batista felt that Triple H was an egomaniac who was always jealous of him. But whether that was true or not, Batista has quit WWE in one form or fashion on two separate occasions. Regardless, his last message to 'the Cerebral Assassin' before their match was simple:
While Batista has defeated The Game a few times in the past, most notably at WrestleMania 21 in 2005, Triple H will do everything in his power, including using a sledgehammer, to exact revenge on The Animal. He certainly appears ready for Batista.
The two things to consider with this match is the 'No Holds Barred' 'rule and the fact that Batista wants to end Triple H's in-ring career.
Interference of some sort is almost guaranteed as anyone from Ric Flair to Shawn Michaels could certainly interject themselves into the match.
Flair would be getting revenge on Batista for the attack while Michaels would be trying to save his best friend from retiring as he did against the Undertaker.
Since 'the Game's' career is essentially on the line, I think Triple H will win this match after a lot of violence and dangerous moves. We might even get some blood to sell the brutality of the match if The Chairman approves.
