Despite the inherently summery feel of the pay-per-view, the poster for 2009's The Bash comes off as being ever so slightly cold. It features the Animal, Batista, a man who had won the WWE Championship earlier in the year only be forced into forfeiting the strap. Batista suffered a legitimate tear in his overly-large biceps, putting him on the shelf.
As a result of Batista's vacating of the title, Randy Orton won a four-way to become the new champion and immediately found himself in a feud (once again) with Triple H. Just think of how bored we all are with Orton and Cena now, and add Triple H to it.
As a result of Batista's gimpy arm, the main event of The Bash was Randy Orton vs. Triple H in a Three Stages of Hell match. Orton won, but Batista wouldn't return for another three months.
