10 Times The WWE Fans Went Off Script

You have to spare a little sympathy for Batista, who - in the time since his 2014 comeback - has become a sorely-missed figure from the world of professional wrestling.

This was just a case of wrong place, wrong time - along with, it should go without saying, some very poor decision-making from the WWE writers. 'The Animal', having been earmarked for a spot in the WrestleMania XXX main event, was seen to be filling a role meant for Daniel Bryan.

The fans refused to play along with his being a triumphant face as they consigned themselves to watching the two Evolution running mates slug it out for the WWE Championship - and after Bryan was belatedly added to the match at the last minute, Batista simply had to be the heel.
