Batista Returns on RAW To Attack Ric Flair and Call Out Triple H (Video)

Batista returned at the end of RAW tonight, spoiling Ric Flair’s 70th birthday celebration. After Triple H and Stephanie McMahon set up the ring with a cake and balloons, gathered the roster on stage, and brought out legends like Sting and Ricky Steamboat, it was time to bring Flair out… only he never came out. We then saw Batista backstage, dragging a camera man over to Flair’s locker room. Batista then dragged an unconscious Flair out of the locker room and asked Triple H if he had his attention now. Triple H quickly ran backstage as RAW ended.

This likely sets up the Batista vs. Triple H WrestleMania 35 match which has been rumored for awhile now. Batista had reportedly talked with AEW recently as well, but it looks like he opted to sign a deal with WWE instead.

WOOOO!
