WWE: Batista - 5 Awesome Matches And 5 That Sucked

By Paul Vernon /

4. Batista vs Umaga - "Battle for Brand Supremacy" - WrestleMania 24

After the impressive match at WrestleMania 23, a year later Batista found himself relegated to a mid-card feud in the "Battle for Brand Supremacy" between Raw and Smackdown. It seemed highly likely this might be a show-stealer from these two behemoths; "The Animal" versus "The Samoan Bulldozer" had to be good right? It wasn't. Ok, it wasn't totally awful, but two major dangerous looking botches from Batista makes this highly memorable for all the wrong reasons. Umaga holds up his end, monstrous as always, but Batista's likely unhappiness at his placement in the card results in some serious sloppiness in the ring. This quick match was also quickly forgotten. One of his worst, on the biggest stage of all, after being so impressive the previous year.
