#2. Batista - 2014
Batista officially retired from wrestling at WrestleMania 35 after closing his chapter by facing Triple H at the show of shows. It was the way he wanted to end his pro wrestling career and we're happy that after all these years, he got to do it on his terms.
The desire to return and get it right was probably even more after his 2014 run that ended in big disappointment. He returned as a babyface during the peak of the "Yes! Movement" and when he won the Royal Rumble instead of the man who fans expected - Daniel Bryan, they let The Animal know of their frustrations.
Batista admitted that this run hurt him a lot because of how fans turned on him. He did eventually turn heel in the main event of WrestleMania and put over Daniel Bryan, but it was clear that the whole run was wasted potential. Batista wanted to return as a heel (calling himself the worst babyface ever, which is untrue) and knew that fans would react better to that.
Instead, WWE forced a babyface push and it backfired on them. He did his job and even put over The Shield big at the end right before the three men emerged as singles stars. However, 2014 was a disappointment for him.
