The Animal Batista and Triple H seem to have embarked on a feud lately. Batista attacked Triple H's mentor and father figure, Ric Flair on his birthday celebration. After the ruthless assault, Triple H seems furious on Batista. The Game is waiting to get his hands on him at WrestleMania 35.
Mind games are an essential part of any rivalry. If Batista needs to get more momentum then he needs to get into the mind of his rival Triple H. One of the ways to get into the mind of Triple H is to continue attacking the people who are very close to him.
Fans have gotten used to seeing Triple H as a cunning authority figure for a while so it would be tough for them to side with him unless they show him as a sympathetic babyface. Batista would need more heel heat in this feud.
Taking out certain people would earn more heel heat to Batista and get more people to side with Triple H. Most importantly it would add some interest to this storyline.
#4 Stephanie McMahon
To extract the full fury of Triple H, one needs to attack Stephanie. His Evolution protege Randy Orton knows this very well. During the build-up to his WrestleMania 25 battle with Triple H, Orton attacked Stephanie multiple times with RKO.
He went even a step further and kissed an unconscious Stephanie right in front of a handcuffed Triple H. This took their rivalry to a wholly personal level. Triple H looked so emotional during that rivalry with Orton.
Stephanie McMahon had been a heel for a while now. Getting an attack from Batista would make her a face once again. It is evident that Triple H would be the face in the whole WrestleMania feud with Batista. His spouse can also turn face to give more weight to the storyline. To be honest, after years of playing heel as the Authority these two need some sympathy for the fans to support them.
#3 Shane McMahon
While an attack on Shane McMahon may not get Triple H fuming over Batista it is still something significant. Batista invading Smackdown and attacking Shane McMahon will put him on the headlines of WWE once more.
Remember that Triple H is the COO of WWE and he is responsible for dealing with the damages that Batista would make. Attacking Shane McMahon would not only mean that Batista had attacked Triple H's brother in law but it also means that he had taken down Smackdown commissioner.
From a personal as well as a professional standpoint this would be a huge damage for Triple H. Shane McMahon is currently in a tag team alongside The Miz. Batista sneaking on one of the tag team matches and taking out Shane McMahon and the Miz would show him like a true monster he once used to be. Shane can even be given a storyline injury for the feud to gain more momentum.
#2 Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon may not be a father figure to Triple H like Ric Flair but still, as Stephanie's father, Vince is related to The Game. As a Father-in-law and as WWE chairman, Vince McMahon is one of the most important people in Triple H's life.
Batista laying a ruthless assault on the 73-year-old would make Triple H emotional. Vince is known for taking the bumps to generate more interest in a storyline. He did it several times. He took major bumps from the likes of Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and the infamous Stone Cold Steve Austin among the rest.
The Chairman should have to be prepared to take yet another serious attack. With Vince McMahon, Batista can finally end his string of attacks towards Triple H's family. WWE can show Vince McMahon as hospitalized following Batista's attack. It would generate even more expectations to see Triple H getting his revenge at WrestleMania.
#1 Shawn Michaels
While the family is always important, friendship is special in its own unique way. If there is someone whom Triple H loves more than his family members it is Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid had been together with Triple H as a tag team partner for a long period of time than anyone else.
Degeneration X is not only the most successful stable in WWE but it is also an iconic one. The stable's tag team partners Triple H and Shawn Michaels had made a major impact in all WWE watching cultures, symbolizing friendship and brotherhood.
Their trademark DX chop receives huge ovations even by the most conservative crowds. The Animal assaulting Shawn Michaels on the build-up to his feud with Triple H would earn him more hatred from the crowd as well as The Game.
Batista can be The Animal who destroys the friends and family of The Hunter on the road to WrestleMania. It would give their feud more meaning and it would obviously take fan anticipation to a whole greater level.
