Although everyone assumed Randy Orton would be the breakout star of Evolution and the undisputed future face of the company, there were those who knew deep down it was going to Batista, and Triple H had that premonition as well.

Vince McMahon wanted to build WWE around Batista because of his massive size, but Triple H knew there was much more to him than that. He saw star power. He saw the ability to capture the attention of an audience. He saw someone who could accomplish huge things both inside and outside the wrestling ring.

After Orton's main event push fizzled out, Batista quickly ascended to the top of the card and organically won the crowds over. Once he severed ties with Evolution, he transitioned into his first major program with Triple H, who was willing to put over the up-and-coming star in a major way. Remember, Triple H was known for "burying" talent at that time, so for The Game to allow him to pin him in three consecutive matches was the ultimate endorsement.

For the next five years, The Animal racked up several world championships and now finds himself attaining success in Hollywood as an actor. Of all the careers Triple H has influenced over the years, Batista became the biggest of the bunch.
