Predicting WWE's WrestleMania 35 Card After Royal Rumble 2019

2. Triple H Vs. Batista

There must be a reason why WWE booked that tense moment between Triple H and Batista at SmackDown 1000. If they thought for one minute that big Dave wasn't interested or that his Hollywood schedule would clash with 'Mania, then they probably wouldn't have bothered.

Nah, there's a reprise of their classic series from yesteryear coming.

'The Game' vs. 'The Animal' has a marquee quality WWE cherish, and it's one of the last-remaining part-time attractions left to book. The Rock seems like an unlikely get these days, and so Batista may be called upon to bump noses with his former Evolution cohort in New Jersey. If it's kept relatively brief, it could be a decent walk down memory lane.

Batista vs. Trips would also have the added benefit of giving Randy Orton something to do (ringside enforcer?) and ensure Ric Flair has a little cameo on the biggest show of 2019. Sign us up. The pair would need a few shortcuts anyhow.
