This Monday, fans and commentators alike witnessed the surprise return of Batista at the end of WWE Monday Night RAW.

The Animal was seen attacking Ric Flair, who was the honored guest of the show as his 70th Birthday was being celebrated, in the closing moments of the show leaving fans stunned.

Not only did Batista attack Flair, but sent a clear message to Triple H, who was waiting in the ring for the Nature Boy’s appearance, surrounded by fellow legends like Shawn Michaels, Sting and more.

After attacking Flair off-screen in the backstage area, Batista asked Triple H if he, “had his attention now.”

Here’s a clip from the segment in case you missed it:

As reports have indicated, it appears Triple H and Batista will be wrestling at this year’s WrestleMania at MetLife Stadium.

In addition news, the fans in attendance weren’t left completely out to dry, as the legends in the ring were interrupted by Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers, only to be disposed of rather quickly, in an effort to send the fans home happy.

Here’s video from inside the arena after RAW went off the air:

After the show, there were several updates and notes from various sources about what happened on tonight’s show.

Many on social media questioned why Dean Ambrose didn’t join Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns after the big reveal of Reigns being in remission of his leukemia at the top of the ramp.

According to Fightful.com, Dean Ambrose requested to be left out of the segment at the beginning of the show. The report cites that Ambrose was seen very emotional backstage during Reigns’ overwhelmingly positive announcement.

Speaking of Reigns’ announcement, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com provided an update on some of the backstage details of Reigns’ return.

The report claims that Vince McMahon was the first to be told that Roman Reigns was cancer free and that it was Roman’s decision to come back so soon. In addition to Vince, Stephanie McMahon, Kevin Dunn, Michelle Wilson and Triple H were aware of all the details as well. WWE made it a conscious effort to keep this news as close to the inner circle as possible.
