10 WWE Ruthless Aggression Era stars: Where are they now?

#8. WWE legend Batista

Batista made his WWE debut in mid-2002 to become one of the most accomplished superstars of the Ruthless Aggression Era.

The 52-year-old's rise to stardom started when he joined forces with Ric Flair, Triple H, and Randy Orton, forming Evolution. As part of the group, he won the World Tag Team Championships, alongside Flair, and the 2005 Royal Rumble match. Nonetheless, he later turned on Triple H and defeated him at WrestleMania 21 to capture his first World Heavyweight Title.

Between 2005 and 2008, Batista won several other championships. The Animal's success continued for two more years before he left WWE in 2010. He later returned to WWE for two other brief runs before announcing his retirement from in-ring action in 2019.

Batista is currently a Hollywood star. He recently starred in Army of the Dead, Dune, Guardians of the Galaxy, and See.

#7. WWE legend Victoria

Victoria was one of the top female WWE Superstars of the Ruthless Aggression Era. The 50-year-old joined WWE in 2000 but did not make her televised in-ring debut until mid-2002. In November that same year, she defeated Trish Stratus to capture her first Women's Championship.

In the following years, Victoria feuded with a few superstars, including Trish Stratus and Molly Holly. She also won the Women's Title for the second time in her career in 2004.

The former Women's Champion left WWE in 2009. She competed in IMPACT Wrestling and on the independent circuit for nearly a decade before announcing her retirement in 2019. Nevertheless, Victoria returned to WWE earlier this year to participate in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

The wrestling legend is now one of the hosts of GAW TV, alongside IMPACT Knockouts Champion Mickie James and former IMPACT star SoCal Val.
