Batista's 5 most memorable WWE moments

#3 Ruining John Cena's night

One of the reasons that Batista has had such a memorable and Hall of Fame-worthy career is that he's worked with a lot of other amazing performers. One such performer he came up the ranks with is the 16-time World Champion... well, I guess - technically - he's worked closely with two 16-time World Champions. But, in this instance, we're talking about his fellow Ohio Valley Wrestling graduate/Hollywood superstar John Cena.

Cena had just finished winning his... I dunno... 137th WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber match main event of... er... Elimination Chamber 2010. After Triple H (him again) elminated then-champion Sheamus, he shortly found himself in the clutches of Cena's STFU (which is just an STF with a U tacked on to the end of it because Ruthless Agression Era) and tapping out. Cena was the new WWE Champion! Wheee!

A month previously, at the Royal Rumble, Batista gave WWE Chairman Vince McMahon a helping hand by attacking his soon-to-be-fellow Hall of Fame member Bret "The Hitman" Hart, who had just recently returned to the company in a somewhat active role following the debacle that was the Montreal Screwjob. As a reward, McMahon gave Batista a match for the WWE Championship against Cena - a match which immediately took place following the Elimination Chamber bout.

Cena didn't have a lot of luck after these matches, did he?

This was the last of Batista's many World Championship wins, and directly led to him leaving WWE the first time (following losing the title to Cena at WrestleMania XXVI and his infamous wheelchair/"I quit!" promo shortly thereafter).
