Batista, but he wasn't built for the long run.
Who had the better 2005: Trill Nikka Tista or John Cena?

Cena sold more merch and could talk batista fidnt start really cutting money promos until he went to smackdown and had to work with eddie guerreo and jbl and guys like that
TNT won the battle but Cena won the war, hate to admit it but its true.
Even at the Royal Rumble (I was there) , Tista had to share the spot light with Cena when it was initially a tie between them on who won . 90% of the crowd knew Dave won clean (it was close) . Having John in discussion that he may have won instead kept him relevant in the storylines. It's like he had to share every big moment he had that year outside his match with HHH.
I wanna say Batista had the better year but Cena somehow did by the end of 2005.

I actually think batista was supposed to be the poster boy/1A guy for the company, but he got injured and Cena stepped up and he became the 1B guy after that. Batista even got the bigger push out of the two initially.
Batista put evolution to sleep. That in itself puts him over Cena in 2005

I think they saw cena merchandise sales and said that he was the guy from here on, but I think batista had next before hand. He even eliminated Cena at the rumble and closed out mania. The world title was a little more prestigious as well than the wwe title during the time.
That's cause it was HHH's storyline. You saw how that shyt flipped by 06I think they saw cena merchandise sales and said that he was the guy from here on, but I think batista had next before hand.

I remember more of Batista's ascension to the top because it was way more entertaining and I wanted to smash him more than Cena, so Batista easily.
Batista won Rumble...won the main event at Mania 21...a better reaction at WM 21 too. Cena was postponed as a underdog by the second half of 2005 even though he was crushing Angle, Shawn Michaels, and Jericho.
Batista, but he lost what I consider the "WWE Cold War". Cena was like the USA and Batista the Soviet Union. Those two being the biggest stars, but Cena becoming the sole superstar.

05 was Batista’s best year in terms of popularity. After the injury it was clear that Cena was more popular than him but back then I liked Batista way more than Cena.
He was older, idk.I think they saw cena merchandise sales and said that he was the guy from here on, but I think batista had next before hand. He even eliminated Cena at the rumble and closed out mania. The world title was a little more prestigious as well than the wwe title during the time.
