10 WWE Wrestlers That Were Thrown Off By The Crowd
3. Batista
As later documented in a WWE Network special on his ill-fated return, Dave Batista had a very bad day at the 2014 Royal Rumble.
He was working without feeling fully confident in his fitness, he'd not really had ample opportunity to reintegrate himself with a locker room that had changed substantially from when he'd last been there, and even his trunks weren't quite right on the night.
It was about to get worse, too.
An audience desperate to see Daniel Bryan enter and win the titular main event got neither, leaving Batista and others subject to some of the most hostile responses in WWE pay-per-view history.
Leaning on the crowd for support that didn't come and ropes that weren't gonna help him get his wind back, Big Dave was so full of hell by the end that he gave up the ghost of trying to be a face and scolded the crowd for their indiscipline as he celebrated.
He was formally turned in fairly short order, so clear were the boos off the back of it. Only Roman Reigns dodged the worst of it in the Rumble itself, and that wouldn't last...
