10 Most Embarrassing Moments Of Batista's Career

The Animal, Batista, is one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation and someone who achieved everything there is to do in the sport. He was in some fantastic feuds with the likes of Triple H and John Cena, he main evented countless PPVs and won plenty of titles along the way. However, that doesn't mean that Batista wasn't involved in some embarrassing moments.

Whether it was a botch in the ring, on the microphone, or just an embarrassing situation, Batista certainly had his fair share of moments that he would likely rather forget about. But what was the most embarrassing moment of his career?

10 Taking A Trip To The Ring

Batista falls into the ring at WrestleMania 35

WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year, and all eyes are watching when the event takes place. That was the case with WrestleMania 35 and considering that it was Batista's final match, there was extra pressure on him.

So the fact that he tripped up and fell as he was getting into the ring was certainly an embarrassing moment for the Animal. It certainly wasn't the way he likely wanted to start his match, but thankfully he recovered well.

9 A Royal Mistake

Batista and John Cena win the Royal Rumble

The 2005 Royal Rumble was supposed to be a huge moment for Batista, who won the match, yet it turned into a very embarrassing moment for him instead. He and John Cena were the final two men when they both fell out of the ring and luckily, hit the floor at the same time.

Of course, this wasn't meant to happen and it led to Vince McMahon storming to the ring, tearing both of his quads, and demanding a restart, while sitting on the mat. Batista went on to win properly, but it was certainly an embarrassing moment at the time, with Vince's injury only making it worse.

8 An Unwanted Rumble Victory

Batista's second Royal Rumble victory also brought an embarrassing moment for him. The Animal was returning to the company at the 2014 Royal Rumble, and he was supposed to be a huge babyface that fans loved.

However, that wasn't the case in this match and his victory was hated. Fans booed loudly, which was certainly an embarrassing moment, to the point where Batista actually flipped off the fans and mocked the Daniel Byran 'Yes' chant, despite the fact he was a babyface.

7 The Goodbye Wave

This moment ended up becoming a meme within itself, purely because of how embarrassing and strange it was. When Batista brought his second run with the company to an end, walking away from Triple H, he certainly made an impact.

Standing still in the ring doing a robotic wave created an odd visual that nobody was really expecting. It didn't suit his character at all, but it was hilarious to watch happen. It is certainly a moment fans will not forget in a hurry.

6 Give Him What He Wants

Another moment that went on to become a huge meme was Batista's promo to Triple H in the build to their WrestleMania 35 match. Talking has never been Batista's strong point, and in this promo he simply let his passion and anger get the best of him.

Batista screamed at Triple H to give him what he wants countless times, fumbling through the lines with spit coming out of his mouth. It led to a hilarious moment from a fan perspective, but one Batista likely wants to forget all about.

5 Bluetista

Wrestlers wear a real array of gear during their career, some of it being good and others not so much. But Batista's all-blue wrestling gear was a look that certainly didn't work for him.

At the time, fans were against him and didn't seem to want him around, and this just opened him up for being a target. Chants of "Bluetista" were heard the entire time he wore the gear, with this being a moment he'd likely want to forget about.

4 Basketballs Don't Hold Grudges

Batista's feud with The Great Khali was one of the more forgettable within his career, and that was perfectly summed up with the basketball promo. When Khali popped a basketball with his bare hands, claiming he'd do the same to Batista's head, it led to an embarrassing segment.

Batista went on to ramble about basketballs as a follow-up, with this supposedly selling tickets for their match. He spoke about how basketballs don't hold grudges and don't fight for World Championships, in what was a poor promo segment.

3 Batista Splits His Pants

Wardrobe malfunctions are certainly something that every professional wrestler is hoping to avoid, but Batista didn't manage that throughout his career. During the build to WrestleMania XXX, Batista had a segment with Randy Orton which saw him hit a Spear.

However, when he hit the move, the backside of Batista's jeans split open, live on television. Obviously, he didn't have time to hide this, and it led to an embarrassing moment.

2 A Fan Pops In To Say Hello

WWE often films backstage segments of wrestlers getting themselves ready for matches, and that once took place with Batista. He was jumping about and looking serious until a fan who had managed to somehow get backstage ran past.

He stopped, did the classic Batista pose, live on Raw, and then ran away. It left Batista looking perplexed and fans not quite knowing what was going on, in what was an embarrassing moment. Luckily, Batista played it off coolly.

1 Taking A Tumble

Mistakes happen in the ring all the time, it's commonplace and expected amongst fans. Not every move is going to hit perfectly, but when Mark Henry pushed Batista, he botched the bump in a seriously embarrassing manner.

He was supposed to take a simple back body bump, but instead, Batista ended up taking several steps backward and then took the bump, for no reason. It was clear that the push didn't result in the fall, with Batista just awkwardly falling back to the mat in a hilarious fashion.
