4. Batista Vs. Mr. Kennedy – Royal Rumble 2007
Mr. Kennedy boasted several victories over former world champions in 2006, but the 2007 Royal Rumble determined to see if Kennedy could do it when it mattered most. The former United States Champion challenged Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Their title match is often forgotten about, and Kennedy targeted the Animal’s knee throughout. However, Kennedy bled from the nose and halted Batista’s momentum when he attempted to get back into the match.
Batista regrouped by working his way back into the match. The Animal masterfully sold his injury by limping. However, the referee was knocked down momentarily. Nevertheless, despite his efforts, Kennedy fell short with Batista retaining the World Heavyweight Championship with a devastating Batista Bomb.
