WWE: 10 Ways Triple H Has Made Himself The Hottest Heel In Wrestling

6. Bringing Back Batista And Having Him Win The Royal Rumble

Each of the reasons that we've discussed so far have fallen within the realm of on-screen storylines. However Triple H's position in the WWE is not so one-dimensional €“ and that's what makes his such an interesting case. Behind the scenes, Hunter's real-life role as the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative gives him incredible power over who exactly the company employs and how they're featured in the on-screen product. What this means is that you can bet Triple H had a very strong say in bringing back Batista, as well as the subsequent decision to have the part-timer go on to win the 2014 Royal Rumble. While I'm sure few fans had an issue with The Animal's return, having him immediately win the Rumble was a far less popular development. Fans began to get on Triple H's back as he showed the first signs of allowing personal preferences to compromise what may indeed have been better for business.
