![The Animal and Cena held the World tag team titles for eight days in 2008.](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/08/49633-15662812945779-800.jpg 1920w)
In the summer of 2008, Batista was drafted from SmackDown to Raw. Batista was a huge star and a bonafide main eventer, so his move to the red brand was definitely going to shake things up. He immediately squared off with another top Raw star, John Cena, and it was clear that a match between the two was going to happen at some point in the future.
Cena and Batista joined forces on the August 4th 2008 episode of Raw to battle the World Tag Team Champions, Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes, for the tag team titles. Rhodes and DiBiase were, of course, defeated by the two former world champions, giving Batista his fourth tag team title and Cena his second.
DiBiase and Rhodes were able to win the titles back just one week later, as the animosity between Cena and Batista proved too much for the champs to co-exist. Facing off at SummerSlam, it was Batista who got the victory, injuring Cena in the process, who wouldn't be seen again until November's Survivor Series.
