Best Matches: Batista

2004:
2005:
2006:
  • Batista Vs Bobby Lashley Vs Finlay Vs King Booker - No Mercy 2006 - 3 ½* - Smackdown in 2006 was overall pretty poor except for a few parts, they didn’t have much made stars and most main event talents weren’t doing much, except King Booker who was killing his new role. But this is easily one of the best Smackdown main events from that year, it’s a really decent match.
2007:
2008:
2009:
2010:
  • Batista Vs John Cena – Wrestlemania 26 – 3 ½* - Five years after each man won their world championships at Wrestlemania 21, they’d finally meet in one of the main events of a Wrestlemania in a decent match, however I believe it was doomed from the start with the winner being very predictable.
  • Batista Vs John Cena – Extreme Rules 2010 – 4 ¼* - Arguably the best match in these history, really fun match and super goofy but decent ending to this match.
  • Batista Vs John Cena – Over the Limit 2010 – 3 ½* - This would be Batista’s last match in WWE for 4 years as he would seek acting roles for movies and television and also getting into Mixed Martial Arts.
2014:
  • Batista Vs Randy Orton Vs Daniel Bryan – Wrestlemania 30 - 4 ½* - The saga of Daniel Bryan's chase to become the WWE Champion would pay off in this match, and oh boy - those months of getting angry, seeing the Authority always win and complaining online absolutely worth it for this moment. Batista who returned and won the Royal Rumble match wasn’t looked fondly on by the crowd, but WWE came to their senses and helped make this Wrestlemania main event one of the most memorable ones of all time.
  • Batista, Randy Orton, Triple H Vs Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose – Extreme Rules 2014 – 4 ½* - Two of the most famous WWE groups with 6 great wrestlers going at it all at the same time – a good way to show the Past Vs the Future. They would also go on to face them at the following PPV, Payback and it really showed Evolution passing the torch to The Shield.
  • Batista, Randy Orton, Triple H Vs Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose – Payback 2014 – 4* - This would be Batista’s last match in WWE for now, hopefully we’ll see him in the future some time. But honestly, he was really disrespected on this night. Reason for that being was because he wore a bright blue attire which got the crowd and the audience to ridicule him as ‘Blue-tista’. But onto a better note, just like the previous PPV, Batista (with the rest of Evolution) would put The Shield over by making them look so dominant defeating all three members of Evolution and no members of Shield being eliminated.
