The first time Dwayne Johnson and Randy Orton met in the WWE, Dwayne Johnson made Orton appear foolish

In the world of professional wrestling, two icons have secured their places – The Rock and Randy Orton. Their unmatched talent and electrifying performances have enthralled the WWE Universe.

They have imprinted the industry indelibly, enthralling global fans with unceasing energy and awe-inspiring maneuvers.

On an episode of Monday Night Raw dated June 21, 2004, The Rock and Randy Orton came face to face for the first time in WWE. The episode opened with a surprising return promo by The Rock

Orton and The Rock have stood together in the ring in two matches. The first took place in February 2003 on RAW, a battle royal aiming to crown the new No.1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

The second unfolded at WrestleMania 20, a three-on-two handicap match staging Evolution Randy Orton, Batista, and Ric Flair against Rock N’ Sock Connection The Rock and Mick Foley. Yet, a one-on-one match between them never happened.

In 2019, Randy Orton used Twitter to seemingly challenge The Rock for a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 36, intending to prove who the ultimate third-generation superstar is in WWE, a potential dream match for the WWE Universe.

In anticipation of his SmackDown appearance, The Viper prompted The Rock with a tweet, questioning John Cena about his WrestleMania plans.

The Great One responded neither in affirmation nor in denial to the match suggestion. He simply asserted that their parents didn’t tirelessly run up and down those roads for decades only to see him suffer an RKO through the earth at WrestleMania

It is becoming increasingly doubtful that fans will ever witness a long-awaited one-on-one showdown between wrestling legends Randy Orton and The Rock. As time goes by, the chances of these two titans facing off in the ring are fading away, leaving fans feeling disappointed and uncertain.
