#4 Batista (2005)
One of the greatest stories WWE ever told in the 2000's was Batista turning on his Evolution mentor, Triple H.
Interestingly, it was a tale that was never meant for Batista at all. The spot was originally planned for Randy Orton. However, such was the dearth of headline talent in WWE in 2004, with Brock Lesnar having left, Eddie Guerrero snapping under the pressure of being Champion and Kurt Angle suffering from his health, WWE prematurely turned Orton baby-face and had him defeat World Champion, Chris Benoit at Summerslam 2004.
Evolution split from him the next night on Raw. A six-month storyline played out in 48 hours. Orton's headline push was bungled and it would take him another three years to recover.
WWE turned to Orton's stablemate Batista, who gradually turned on Triple H over a period of months. When Batista learned of Triple H's plan to manipulate him to leave Raw so he could remain Champion, Batista let the "Game" know, that he was coming for the Champion for the title.
His face turn on Raw, prior to Wrestlemania 21, earned a booming ovation from the fans and a new headline superstar was born.
