Friday Night Smackdown Results 3/28: WWE Raw Recap Mar. 28 2014: Batista took the stage on Smackdown as he addressed the cold reception of the WWE Universe regarding his return. After winning the Royal Rumble, he will face Champion Randy Orton and either Daniel Bryan and Triple H. The Animal branded these boos from WWE fans as a "personal slap in the face" - not unlike the smack Stephanie McMahon delivered to him on Raw. But, before the 2014 Royal Rumble winner could expand on his feelings, Triple H came to the stage.
The Game told his former Evolution colleague that he already lost his swagger since his hiatus. Therefore, Triple H made it a point that Batista reclaim that swagger and face Sheamus on SmackDown, which many sees as the new Batista.
