Batista's only non-singles appearances on the Grandest Stage of Them All came back at WrestleMania XX, when he teamed up with his Evolution team-mates, Randy Orton and Ric Flair, to take on the team of The Rock and Mick Foley in a handicap match.
At this stage, Randy Orton was clearly being pushed as the brighter young star in the Evolution set-up, and a lot of this match's action focused on his ongoing feud with Mick Foley at the time.
That being said, it's still a fun encounter and it's always nice to see The Rock and Mick Foley sharing a ring.

WrestleMania 21 was the night when WWE finally decided to pull the trigger on the two hottest stars of the Ruthless Aggression Era - John Cena and Batista.
With Cena having already done his duty and beat JBL earlier in the night for the WWE Championship, Batista stepped up in the main event to take on, and ultimately dethrone, his former Evolution team-mate Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
The match may not be the finest of Batista's career, but it was a solid main-event encounter that suffered slightly from what was an incredible lower and mid-card coming before it.
