Despite Randy Orton’s best efforts, it doesn’t appear that he’ll be facing The Rock at WrestleMania 36.
Last week, the Smackdown star challenged “The Great One” to a singles match to determine who’s truly the better third generation star. When the former WWE Champion didn’t respond, Orton called for Cena to talk to The Rock about accepting his challenge at the grandest stage of them all.
However, The Rock finally responded to Orton's request and the "People’s Champ” couldn’t be swayed into another match against the third-generation star:
Orton responded saddened over Rock’s reply:
I guess their match Evolution (Orton, Batista, Ric Flair) vs. Rock N Sock Connection (Mick Foley & The Rock) match at WrestleMania 20 is the closest we’ll get to Randy Orton and The Rock wrestling in the same ring.
