Batista Makes WWE Return On Tonight's RAW To Set Up Big WrestleMania 35 Feud (Video)

It looks like the rumored Batista vs. Triple H match is on for WrestleMania 35.

Batista made his WWE TV return on tonight's RAW from Atlanta, during the closing segment that was the 70th birthday celebration for WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon hosted the segment but when it came time for Flair to come out, he didn't show. The WWE cameras eventually cut backstage to Batista dragging a camera man over to Flair's locker room. We then saw Batista dragging Flair out of the room. Batista turned to the camera and asked Triple H if he had his attention now. Triple H left the ring and ran backstage to check on Flair but Batista was never seen again. RAW went off the air with Triple H and other officials tending to Flair.
