#2 Batista – 2014

No arguments about this one

Pointless, utterly meaningless. Batista's victory in 2014 did nothing but anger the fans and left everyone disappointed following his return to the ring.

Batista had been away from the company for six years before he returned in January 2014, and his victory in the 30-man battle royal prevented fan favourite Daniel Bryan from becoming the face of the company - despite the overwhelming support coming from the WWE universe.

Not since the days of the early 2000's had anyone received love from the fans like Daniel Bryan did, but after not being in the match, 'Boo-tista' was announced as the winner instead of the upcoming rookie Roman Reigns.

Thankfully, the WWE bosses saw sense and put Bryan in the main event of 'Mania, but allowing Batista win was nothing other than a mistake - which proved the case as he left the company once again just months later.
