To long-term addicts of WWE, Batista needs no introduction.
T is for... The Undertaker
Batista's rivalry with The Undertaker was simply Phenom-enal! The Superstars' paths first crossed at WrestleMania XXIII, when the Demon of Death Valley defeated the Animal to keep his unbeaten streak at the Show of Shows and collect the World Heavyweight Championship. Over the months and years that followed, Batista and the Deadman would meet in barbaric Last Man Standing, Steel Cage, Chair and Hell in a Cell matches, regularly serving up a treat for the WWE Universe.
A is for... Alberto Del Rio
Ever since it was announced that the Animal would be on the warpath in WWE again, Alberto Del Rio has been an unhappy bunny. Mexico's Greatest Import slammed Batista on television and on Twitter and vowed to deal with the returning hero at the Royal Rumble. Oh dear! Del Rio was made to pay for his words on Raw when, after besting the Animal's long-time friend Mysterio, he was clobbered by a brutal Batista Bomb. Still, he won't be the last Superstar to suffer that fate...
