HBK is one star that understands the importance of having some muscle to watch over him and has a rather iconic history with sidekicks larger than him.

Michaels then replaced Diesel with the much more ‘loyal’ and merciless Sycho Sid, who made his huge return to WWE with this angle in 1995.
Back before he became the face of WWE in the midst of the Ruthless Aggression Era, Batista served alongside D-Von Dudley during his now-iconic Reverend gimmick.
Revered D-Von introduced Batista to the WWE Universe as Deacon Batista, who was the enforcer of his preachings. Before we had ‘The Monday Night Messiah’ we had Reverend D-Von and Deacon Batista, and fans must never forget that.

Dolph Ziggler was in the midst of a losing effort with John Cena, but AJ Lee came to his rescue, apparently employing the skills of one of the largest men she could find- Big E.
