#4. Batista

Batista as Drax

Dubbed as "Deacon Batista" upon his debut, The Animal came in as a sidekick to D-Von Dudley. He soon became a member of the notorious faction, Evolution, that consisted of the likes of Triple H, Ric Flair, and another rookie, Randy Orton.

By 2005, Batista had become a World Champion and the biggest Superstar on Monday nights. His intimidating look and incredible physique landed him a role in the James Bond movie, Spectre. He didn't look back and is now an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the biggest franchises in the world today.

Although Batista has become a legit Hollywood actor, his passion for professional wrestling makes him come back time after time. Days before his movie "Avengers: Endgame" will release, Batista, is all set to battle Triple H at WrestleMania 35 on April 7th. Batista's mainstream recognition is bound to boost buy rates for the annual extravaganza.
