There were rumors that Batista was set to make a return to WWE in time for WrestleMania, but they managed to keep his appearance on tonight's episode of Raw a secret, and it was all the better for it.
After a number of illustrious guests - including Sting, HBK and Ricky Steamboat - were introduced to help celebrate Ric Flair's 70th birthday, backstage footage of Dave Bautista, aka Batista, entering The Nature Boy's locker room and dragging his unconscious body out behind him was shown.
After this disturbing scene, Batista addressed Triple H in the ring, asking if he "had his attention now."
We'll have to wait for official confirmation, but it certainly looks like that rumored match between The Game and The Animal is on for 'Mania!
