8. Another Of Triple Hs Friends Getting A Main-Event Push
Being friends with Triple H just like anyone being friends with their boss has its benefits. You find yourself being treated well, getting a good spot in the company and seeing an increase in TV time. Sheamus is one of the prime examples of getting a push by virtue (in part) of being friends with Triple H. Again, this is not in and of itself a bad thing if the wrestler getting pushed deserves it. But in Batistas case, heres Triple Hs former running buddy stepping back into WWE after four years away and immediately getting inserted into the main event. Even his draw in the Royal Rumble #28 served to incite fans. Had Batista come back and drawn something like #10 and made a hell of a showing, he would have at least earned his title shot in some fans eyes. But the perception to a lot of fans was that it was preferential treatment, and we as fans were getting a Batista championship win at WrestleMania whether we liked it or not (or as Batista later would say, Deal with it!). Much like some of the other items on this list, you cant really hold this against Batista himself. The blame needs to be spread around, but the superstar himself is going to bear the brunt of it.
