• Reason Behind Batista Returning To WWE As A Heel

In the main event segment of last night’s RAW, WWE had planned a birthday celebration for two time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair (who turned 70 years old), but it never happened.

Former WWE Champion Batista returned to WWE programming and attacked Flair in Flair’s locker room to call out Triple H (for a match at WrestleMania 35).

You can watch it below:

According to the Wrestling Observer, Batista returned as a heel to ensure that his current run goes according to plan and not like his last WWE run.

In his previous WWE run in 2014, Batista returned as a babyface, but got booed big time and that basically ruined his entire run.

Also, Batista noted during a recent interview with Tampa Bay Times that he prefers working as a heel.

Below is what Ric Flair tweeted about his birthday celebration and attack by “The Animal”:
