#3. Batista
Batista was one of the biggest stars in WWE, and it could be argued that he was even bigger than John Cena was when he had his coronation at WrestleMania 21. The Evolution storyline brought Batista to new heights, and he organically became the hottest babyface in the company. He would move to SmackDown with the World Heavyweight Championship in 2005, where he would remain for a few years being the top star of the brand.
He had a very parallel rise to the top as John Cena, and he undoubtedly played one of the most important roles in the Ruthless Aggression Era.
