Following Orton's dastardly attack on Edge, it's now being reported that the former Tag Team Champions will face off at WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, Florida. Both WWE veterans have a lot of history together, and were once the best of friends. The duo took on Triple H and Shawn Michaels back in 2006 in a long feud. Last night, Orton and Edge had a wholesome chat during the Rumble match. They worked as a team for some time in the match before Edge eliminated The Viper from the match.
