Dream and Nightmare Scenarios for Triple H vs Batista's WWE WrestleMania 35 Feud

The storyline and planning for Triple H's showdown with Batista at WWE WrestleMania 35 moved forward at serious pace on Monday night's Raw.

Both men agreed to facing each other at the biggest pay-per-view of the year on April 7, with the added stipulation of a No Holds Barred match.

However, as well as the potential outcome of the match itself, there are also plenty of things WWE can do to determine how successful the bout will be on the whole.

Here's a look at some dream and nightmare scenarios for the feud.

Dream: No Outside Interference

It's WrestleMania, which means WWE is going to pull out all the stops to ensure its main matches at the event are as memorable as possible.

In the case of Triple H vs. Batista, though, that doesn't mean repeating what happened four years ago when The Game beat Sting at The Show of Shows.

While it was cool to see the D-Generation X vs. nWo vibe at WrestleMania 31, with the stipulation in play this time, there's really no need for something similar on April 7.

It would be fantastic to see no outside interference from anyone. No Shawn Michaels, no Evolution members, no Stephanie McMahon.

Just two of the biggest names in the business having an all-out brawl to set the scene for the show's bigger matches would be great. And on that point...

Nightmare: It Runs Close to the Main Event of the Show

WrestleMania 35 is looking like one of the most loaded cards in years.

Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch is almost certainly going to be the main event. If it isn't, it'll only be followed by Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar. Then there's the WWE Championship picture and the story concerning Kofi Kingston.

WWE has three bona fide main event matches there, and it would be a shame if any of them were made to go on before Triple H vs. Batista.

While this match is two huge names waging war on one another, it's two huge names from a different era. WWE has moved on, and this year's Mania should be about affording the stars of the present and future the spotlight.

So position HHH vs. Batista somewhere neatly in the middle of the card and let it serve as an enthralling starter for the bigger matches that should rightly follow.

Dream: It's a Throwback to WWE's Attitude Era

With the stipulation already locked in, there are bound to be high expectations.

Any ordinary No Holds Barred match should take both wrestlers, and the audience, outside of their comfort zone. But at WrestleMania? It's got to be an absolute blockbuster.

So fans should see a throwback to WWE's glory days, the Attitude Era, with both men pushing each other to their limit.

Triple H's patented sledgehammer should make an appearance, but so too should a whole variety of other weapons, with both men brawling all across the set.

If this match is going to be remembered for the right reasons, it has to be different. And with the stipulation in place, it's got to be brutal, hardcore and destructive.

Nightmare: Triple H Wins

Batista laid the foundations for this match back in October, at the 1,000th edition of SmackDown Live.

Even if it is factually inaccurate (ProFightDB documents numerous examples of Triple H triumphing over Batista), The Animal's proclamation that Triple H has never beaten him always felt like the start of a WrestleMania feud.

Although the story may well be built around Batista's claims on SmackDown 1000, it's still got to be the Guardians of the Galaxy star who triumphs here.

This feels like it's going to be billed as the final match of both Triple H and Batista's career. In reality, that statement is only likely to be true for Batista, who will leave WWE again and return to Hollywood.

Triple H? He'll still be around. There will be other chances for The Game to end on a high.

So this has to be Batista's night at Mania, no matter if he is the villain in this feud or not. WWE missed a trick in having Sting not go over Triple H at WrestleMania 31. That surely won't happen again this time.
