May as well ask this... The concept of "Getting your win back" from the perspective of the fans... Am I supposed to believe that if Triple H beats Batista in 2019, that the feud they had in 2005 when Batista beat him clean three straight times doesn't count? It doesn't make a lick of sense and it's all for the benefit of quenching one's ego. Batista ego you mean right?
He's the one who's been asking for this match for like 2 years and HHH has said nah he wants to work with young guys and help them

That might be the most limp attempt at a horrific heel beatdown I've ever seen. Batista walks into a room, you hear a small banging, then he drags Flair two feet and Ric lays there grunting. THE END! And I loved every moment of it. The cheesy grunt and laugh by Batista. Sting. HBK clapping. Hunters cheesy concern. Best 5 minutes of WWE since the Hardy's surprise return at Wrestlemania.

The attack looked like the Smackdown Know Your Role Season Mode scene of wrestler getting mysteriously assaulted around the corner from the corner camera that used to be hella trippy as a kid. Now finally found out it was Batista the whole time.

Tiny Matt Riddle approves Ric Flair corpsing?

Now finally found out it was Batista the whole time. Someone needs to dub that game's backstage music over the segment now.

For all of those wondering why Batista is the hell, it's because he wants to be the heel. He has stated multiple times that he likes being a heel much more than a face.
Why HHH you ask? Because again, Batista REQUESTED HHH. He's comfortable with him, has chemistry (and friendship) with him. He misses being in the ring, and wants to have a marquee match at Wrestlemania with his a guy he knows and likes.

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. 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. I will go back on what I said in a late night and totally agree. After reflection, this was really cool. While I still would have MUCH liked a signed Killer Kross to the roster, or even mid-carder hot-shotted to the top like Shinsuke Nakamura (to Raw) or Tommaso Ciampa or even Drew McIntyre, I shat on such an well executed perfect angle. Batista....Not Bad!

*raises hand, stands up in the class*
People have been talking about it for the entire time I've been in the IWC, and to this day I don't understand why people want to see Brock/Batista. They seem to have nothing in common except era of debut and being big guys.
I love Batista but I think at virtually any time in his career putting him in the ring with Brock would dangerously expose how much Batista is a wrestler/a middle-aged man rather than the freak of nature/legit fighter that Brock is.
I know it's wrestling and it's all fake so it would definitely work, but Batista despite being a power wrestler was never really that strong of one, was pretty old even when he started even before he got so many injuries, and Brock is DEFINITELY faster than he is. I just don't really see what they'd have to offer.
Some guys make sense going toe-to-toe with Brock, but nothing about Batista's character, booking or in-ring style say to me this would be a good match. Would someone please explain to me what would make this so compelling outside of 'they haven't wrestled before'? If that's all it is, then cool.

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. Batista has said on numerous occasions that he would only return to face Triple H.

Well at least he didn’t stoop as low as covering Ric’s mouth with duct tape.
