Wounded Animal

DARN IT! Like his Raw counterpart, Dave 'The Animal' Batista has also lost the WWE Heavyweight Championship Belt.

The former champion incurred another injury (a ripped tricep, I believe) during a bout with wrestler Mark Henry, which is even more serious than his earlier injury. Batista had been performing full time on WWE Smackdown despite not yet recovering 100 percent from his earlier injuries in order to keep the shows and storylines going in the wake of Eddie Guerrero's death, but this time there's no way out of it.
In the latest Smackdown show, an emotional Batista was forced to relinquish his title to General Manager Teddy Long. The WWE Heavyweight Championship was then fought over by other WWE superstars in a Battle Royale. The winner?

SPOILER ALERT.... The new WWE Heavyweight Champion is none other than Raw's Kurt Angle, who surprised all by showing up on the Smackdown set. The outsider was then attacked by other Smackdown superstars, but eventually survived to eliminate Mark Henry and become the new WWE Heavyweight Champion.

EDITED:
Dave Batista's surgery to his ripped tricep was a complete success, which will probably ensure that he'll be back in a big way after he recuperates. Here's to you reclaiming the Belt, Gentle Giant.
