Thanks to @willfortweet, @heweyinbound, Clayton and Dan for the following spoilers from tonight’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Boston:
* SmackDown kicks off with Batista coming to the ring for a promo. Batista says the fans begged him to come back and did nothing but boo him when he does. Batista starts knocking Daniel Bryan. We get a RAW replay. Batista goes on about Bryan until Triple H comes out, to a babyface reaction. Triple H tells Batista to leave his wife out of this. Batista says he wouldn’t have anything if he didn’t marry Stephanie McMahon. Triple H wants to know why it’s personal with Batista. Batista brings up how Triple H has lost every match they’ve been against each other in.
