#1 Major disappointment: Batista wins the 2014 Royal Rumble
Sometimes it's better to give the crowd exactly what they want, whether you believe it's right or wrong. Vince McMahon learned this lesson the hard way with Batista's return in 2014.

The fans took out their frustrations on Batista by showering him with nuclear heat after he won the match. It derailed the entire plan WWE had for Batista's comeback match, and it left them with no option but to turn him heel.

At one point, it even looked like the main event of WrestleMania 30 was going to be Batista Vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, a match no fan wanted to see. Seeing sense, the company quickly booked Bryan into the match, having the YES! Man beat Triple H in the show's opener and winning the title to close out WrestleMania.
