Batista's WWE WrestleMania Matches Ranked From Worst To Best
6. Vs. Triple H (WrestleMania 21)
This match gets a lot of love from fans and it will forever be remembered as an iconic moment in WWE history. However, it has some flaws which makes it hard for this writer to love it or even appreciate it.
Triple H (the heel) getting a much cooler entrance than Dave and Batista selling for almost the entire match are just some of the reasons that place it so low on the list. If it had been anyone else, it would have been better. But this was 'The Animal' and he needed a more dominant win over his former mentor to really establish himself as the new bad*ss monster World Heavyweight Champion.
Especially with this match taking place so soon after Goldberg's disastrous first run in WWE (mostly due to selling for too much time), there were reasons for fans to be worried. Thankfully, that dominant win over 'The Game' eventually did happen inside Hell in a Cell at Vengeance, just before Batista moved to SmackDown.
