WrestleMania XX saw WWE legend Mick Foley return to the ring for the first time in four years after his previous retirement in 2000.

In the months prior, Mick Foley had been feuding with Evolution's Randy Orton on WWE television. Orton had begun referring to himself as "The Legend Killer," attacking WWE legends and Hall of Famers on a regular basis. This included spitting in the face of Mick Foley, calling the hardcore legend a coward.

The feud between Orton and Foley led to a 3-on-2 handicap match at WrestleMania XX in which Randy Orton teamed up with Evolution teammates Ric Flair and Batista to face off against the legendary tag team of Mick Foley and The Rock.

The match marked the first time the Rock N' Sock Connection had teamed up for several years in WWE.

The match was an absolute joy to watch, especially the interactions between The Rock and Ric Flair. A classic WrestleMania moment saw The Nature Boy attempt to hit The Great One with his own version of The People's Elbow. Flair executed his own trademark strut before The Rock leaped to his feet to cut off The Nature Boy and do a strut of his own.

Evolution eventually walked out of WrestleMania XX victorious as Randy Orton pinned Mick Foley after hitting the hardcore legend with an RKO to gain the decisive pinfall.
