#1 Batista
In mid-2000, Dave Bautista made his debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling and was given the ring name Leviathan. He remained in OVW for the next two years, before being promoted to WWE's main roster. As soon as he was sent to the main roster, Bautista was given the gimmick of Deacon Batista, the sidekick to Reverend D-Von.

Batista and Randy Orton both turned into major Superstars over the next two years. Success came quickly for Orton, as he defeated Chris Benoit for the World title at WWE SummerSlam 2004. Batista won his first World title at WWE WrestleMania 21 when he defeated Triple H in the main event of the show.
Batista left WWE in 2010 after failing to defeat John Cena for the WWE title. He came back for a brief run in 2014 and made another return in 2019 to take on Triple H at WrestleMania 35. Following the event, Batista announced that he was done with wrestling.
