This seems like a no brainer. It's in the top spot because Batista has done a number of interviews where he said he wants to retire after doing a WrestleMania match with Triple H. Whether that match takes place at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 or the following year, we don't know yet. It's likely going to happen because what Triple H wants, he's going to get. Their feud in 2005 was outstanding. The WrestleMania 21 main event match they had was really good thanks in part to a great story that developed in the four months leading up to it. They followed it up with other matches including a Hell in a Cell battle that was better than the WrestleMania match. In terms of a storyline, that's easy. Since Batista quit, Hunter could say he didn't want him to come back to WWE and Batista could say he was brought back by Vince McMahon or somebody else as a way to upset Triple H. From there an angle can develop that leads to a match. Since Triple H is arguably the biggest heel in WWE right now, it's likely that Batista will be brought back to face off with Triple H as a way to ensure that he gets cheered for it. From there it's up to WWE to make sure they are smart enough to book Batista in an intelligent way to allow him to work as a babyface until he retires in a year or two.
