#2. Batista
When Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble, Triple H wasn't happy. Sure, he put on a smile for his protege, but the truth was that the Game was afraid that the Animal would choose to face him for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21.
So much was Triple H's paranoia, that he orchestrated an attack, as during an episode of RAW, Batista was nearly run down by a limousine with longhorns, identical to the one used by SmackDown's WWE Champion JBL. Being 'saved' by the King of Kings, it seemed the plan would have worked, if Batista had not overheard the Game telling Ric Flair about his methods backstage. Sure enough, Batista turned on Evolution, chose to face his mentor and won his first of six World Championships at the biggest show of the year.
