#3 Punking out Hunter's Flair
Batista would be the hero of the story if it weren't for how great he is as a bad guy, and this manifested in his attack on Ric Flair this past Monday, during his birthday celebrations. The attack on Flair, whom both Batista and Hunter are close to, is a huge metaphorical thumb down to his mentors.
Knowing after all he had done from proving Hunter wrong by succeeding in Hollywood to teasing his ego didn't work. Batista used an attack on Flair, someone Triple H deeply admires and set up the whole birthday celebration for. Using Flair to get to the Game is genius and another sign of how intuitive Batista is.
He's always had the better of exchanges when staring down the Nature Boy along with Hunter, making this a twisted callback to their shared past. Doing it with the blue tinted Hollywood swagger as well as those smooth acting chops is the icing on the cake.
