I'm pretty sure HHH is just pissed off that Batista whooped Flair's ass before he could.

You're amazed-uh? That Papa H-uh, is the face-uh!? Maybe Batista wanted to be heel? Nah, I'm sure it's just HHH being a jerk and intentionally making us sad I don't even mind Batista is a heel. but it seems like the story is that Batista desperately wants Hunter to fight him and I'm confused why.

As I emerge from unconsciousness, I'm still lol'ing at this. So awkwardly done for the most part, but still so funny. I don't even care that all the laughing at 11pm basically sobered me up, although I guess my head thanks me this morning for that. And indeed, this morning the Roman twitter moment has been replaced with the HHH twitter moment, so congrats pal. I dont see why it couldnt be Killer Kross or a newer superstar. You want to build new top-tier main eventers for years to come or make the fans the authority, you would put Killer Kross there immediately with the red X card on Flair. Did you hear the crowd last night? They were barely reacting to established superstars at many times. Last week they didn't seem to react to any of the NXT people who debuted. Hell, they didn't react to Batista until they got the close up of him (and you could tell it was him from that distant shot).

I thought it was a very well-done segment, personally. Trips as a heel - especially the "authority/COO" heel - is so overplayed that it hurts. Trips the badass babyface looking for retribution (as opposed to "goofy HHH", my least favorite Trips look) is a good look at this point, and it's much easier for Batista to come back and heel out than it would be to get the crowd behind him as a short-term babyface.
I like it.

You want to build new top-tier main eventers for years to come or make the fans the authority, you would put Killer Kross there immediately with the red X card on Flair. No offense, but I think if it were Killer Kross, the audience would let out a collective, "Who's that?!" This is one of those rare times in wrestling where a feud between two older guys makes sense and doesn't have to be about introducing a younger or newer star. 1.) Triple H is going to wrestle at WrestleMania. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Why waste a young guy for this spot? 2.) Batista has been talking about wanting to end his career as a heel in a match with Triple H at WrestleMania for many years now. This is what he wants. Why not give that to him and in return, he can give you...... 3.) Media buzz like never before. About two weeks after WrestleMania, Batista has this small, indy film coming out called "Avengers: Endgame." WWE can not buy the type of promotion that they will get from being associated with that movie near its release. This is one of those situations where the stars have aligned perfectly for WWE.

Unless it's a swerve where like I dunno Triple H finds security footage of Batista just hitting a wall and Flair's in on it that was just...man... Flair turning on HHH would be awesome.

Segment was cool because Batista is Batista, but I absolutely cannot even pretend to be invested in an angle where Triple H is the babyface in 2019. Like, unless there's a double turn at some point, I'm out. Life's too short for entire segments of Triple H snarling in to the microphone and mumbling DAVE YOU LEFT THIS BUSINESS AND RAN TO HOLLYWOOD What if I-uh, take a selfie-uh, with you-uh? LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU, HUNTER!

I can’t believe they have Brock Lesnar and Batista in the same arena and they DON’T make this a Wrestlemania feud.
For me, that is an absolute money match and way better than HHH getting his win back from 14 years ago.
Rollins could have faced Bryan instead. At this point, I don’t give a shit about Rollins vs Brock.

I think the only people who care about HHH getting his win back are people on this forum. I highly doubt HHH really cares about it. Batista has been the one pushing for this match to begin with. Their original matches were almost 15 years ago it's absurd to think anyone would honestly care about getting a win back from that long ago.
Also, it seemed really clear to me that Batista beat up Flair prior to grabbing the cameraman. This is why Flair wasn't ready to go to the ring when his music hit. Batista didn't beat Flair up in 2 seconds. I feel like some people on this forum are really negative and look for things to get angry about. I thought this was a cool segment but some people are shitting on it for things that haven't happened yet (the outcome of the match) or things they think don't make sense that do if you give it 10 seconds of thought.
I dunno it's weird how negative this place constantly is. We just got back Douchtista in all his photoshoppable glory and found out Reigns is in remission. Why are people so salty?

The funniest thing about all this was the graphic for the Matt Riddle thing that came up at the end juxtaposed with Ric Flair writhing in pain.

The Triple H wants his win back stuff is silly because Batista is the one who wants the match and Triple H handpicked Batista to lose to back in the day.

It IS a weird way to propel into the feud....but if this is happening, I’m assuming Dave has creative input. So good, or bad, I’m ready and gable to see it play out.
Either way, it’s fleeting, it’ll be over by WM.

Probably has been said, but Tista wants to be a heel. He wanted to be heel his last run, but Vince said no. So now he's a big movie star he probably gets what he wants now.

I guess Batista has to take Draxtic measures to get Trips attention. The question now "is Trips now Naitch's legal guardian (of the galaxy?). As long as Batista takes care of his sensitive nipples.

Needed more Sting on the mic afterwards saying 'I flew all the way out here for you and now you don't show? How could you betray me again?!', otherwise spot on.
