New backstage photos of Triple H & Batista just feel extra tense

Batista versus Triple H is happening, isn’t it?

In a new photo gallery from WWE.com, fans go behind the scenes at SmackDown 1000. The gallery gives some insight into what went on during the historic show. It also provides another opportunity to read into the many facial expressions of Batista.

Batista’s promo from Tuesday night was one of the big highlights from the 1,000th episode of SmackDown.

Why in every photo taken at SmackDown 1000 featuring Batista and Triple H, does it feel like The Animal has a massive chip on a shoulder?

The relationship between the WWE and Batista has felt rocky for more than a few years now.

Perhaps looking to redeem himself for winning the 2014 Royal Rumble and the build to WrestleMania 30, Batista has lobbied for one more big WWE comeback match before he hangs up the boots.

If Batista returns to the WWE for a victory lap before he retires, should Triple H be his WrestleMania 35 opponent?
