4 WWE Superstars Randy Orton requested to work with and 2 he did not

#1 Randy Orton requested to work with The Rock

One month before Randy Orton issued a WrestleMania 36 challenge to John Cena, the WWE veteran also began touting a possible match at the event against The Rock.

Ahead of the first episode of SmackDown on FOX in October 2019, Randy Orton acknowledged The Rock’s return for the special show and challenged the Hollywood star to face him on WWE’s biggest stage.

.@TheRock I see you will be at #SmackdownOnFox this Friday. How about you & I have a discussion about who’s the greatest 3rd generation of all time and we answer that question April 5th in Tampa At Wrestlemania 36. A vipers sense of smell is unmatched. I smell what you’re cooking

Politely rejecting Randy Orton’s request, The Rock joked on Twitter that he is still recovering from The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection’s three-on-two handicap defeat against Evolution from WrestleMania 20.

“U think Bob O Sr & Chief Maivia along with our pops' Bob Jr & the Soulman ran up and down those roads for decades taking bumps just so we can sell out WM36 so you can RKO my a** thru the earth. My body's still recovering from that Evolution beatdown you gave me at WM20.”

Randy Orton simply replied, “My man. So I guess that’s a ‘no’,” and talk about the match possibly taking place quickly died down.
