Top 5 World Heavyweight champions in WWE

4. Batista

Batista won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21

At number four is none other than “The Animal”, Batista. Batista was heavily featured in the title picture ever since his win at WrestleMania in ’05, and has been one of the better world champions (Not necessarily as an in-ring performer).

Batista had a connection with the crowd, and with him being friends with Triple H, it was relatively easy for him to climb the ladder and reach the main event status. Batista was handpicked by Triple H to become the face of the company, and it turned out to be a success.

With Batista being involved in some good, no, great feuds with the likes of Booker T and The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight championship, it was seen as an equal to the WWE title.

Things panned out differently as time progressed, but Batista will undoubtedly be seen as one of the better World Heavyweight champions in WWE.
