At tonight’s WWE WrestleMania 35 event, new WWE Hall of Famer Triple H defeated Batista in a No Holds Barred Match, in which “The Game’s” legendary career was on the line.

Triple H’s victory came thanks to assistance from fellow WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, who had been the victim of an assault by Batista during his 70th birthday celebration on a recent edition of Monday Night Raw. Flair made a surprise appearance at ringside to give Triple H a sledgehammer, which he used to hit Batista in the temple before then pinning him after a Pedigree.

Triple H and Flair then hugged at ringside following the match.
