30 Best Performers In WrestleMania History
18. Batista (3-3)
Looking at
recent history, Batista can easily be pegged as a disappointment, his return to
WrestleMania XXX derailed by the Yes! Movement.
But the Animal had some notable successes during his run, including three other world title matches at Mania (in fact, all three of his losses were in world title bouts).
Batista’s first taste of WrestleMania came at XX as part of Evolution, when the group defeated the Rock & Sock Connection. The following year, Batista was engaged in one of the better storylines at the time, winning the Royal Rumble and then defeating Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship. He would lose the world title twice at Mania (XXIII and XXVI) to Undertaker and John Cena, respectively.
Those high-profile bouts put Batista inside the top 20 for WrestleMania performers.
