At SummerSlam 2004, Randy Orton became the youngest WWE Champion in history after defeating Chris Benoit. The next night on Raw after defeating Benoit in a rematch, his Evolution stablemates Ric Flair and Batista hit the ring for what appeared to be a celebration. Instead, while Batista had Orton propped on his shoulders in celebration, Triple H gave him a pleased thumbs up and then abruptly changed it to a thumbs-down. A vicious beat-down ensued that was followed by Triple H demanding Orton hand over his championship to him. Orton retaliated by spitting in Triple H's face and hitting him with the title belt. Triple H reclaimed the WWE Championship one month later at Unforgiven 2004. However, luring a stablemate into a false sense of calm only to have that turn into a ruse to have him hand over his championship to you? Diabolical.
