#8 Randy Orton vs Batista - WrestleMania 30

Former WWE Champion Batista returned to WWE in January 2014. His return was announced 2 weeks before it happened on RAW and these were soon followed by rumours that he was the planned winner of the Royal Rumble match and to face then WWE World Champion Randy Orton in the main event of WrestleMania.
Now this doesn't sound too bad, Batista was always a pretty good performer, had always been popular and it had been almost 4 years since we last saw him on WWE TV, so all this combined with winning the Royal Rumble sounded great, but there was just one problem.... The YES! Movement.
WWE has no future plans for Rhea? Here's why!
Daniel Bryan was WWE's most popular superstar. Unfortunately for him he just wasn't being looked at as 'The Guy'. Even though the build-up he had throughout 2014 made him seem like a lock for to be the last man standing in the Royal Rumble match, WWE had other plans. Batista entered the Rumble to a mixed response and upon realizing there would be no Daniel Bryan entry, the fans hijacked the show and booed Rumble winner babyface Batista out of the building.
Ultimately Bryan's popularity became too much for WWE to ignore and he was added to the planned Orton vs Batista match and came out on top.
