9. Triple H vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship – WrestleMania 21
In what may have been the best buildup of any Triple H WrestleMania match, The Game faced his Evolution protege Batista in the main event of Mania 21.
The Animal had risen out of the shadows of Hunter and won the Royal Rumble Match to earn this opportunity.
This was a little slow and plodding at times, but it definitely had intensity and emotion throughout.
Batista used his strength to launch Triple H into the ring post to bloody his former mentor.
As hard as Triple H fought, The Animal just had more in the tank to overcome the more experienced champion.
Batista finally vanquished The Game with the Batista Bomb to claim his first World Heavyweight Championship.
