5 Best Opponents For The Rock's WrestleMania 35 Return

2. Randy Orton

Quick side note: The Rock cannot face smiling veteran babyface Randy Orton. Nah, he has to meet snarling, cold-blooded predatory heel Randy Orton, the same megalomaniac who dropped legends in his prime and became one of WWE's biggest stars by showing his chops as an evil prick who was born to wrestle.

The apathetic characterisation Randy experienced before recently returning to his vindictive ways wouldn't cut it. If WWE were going to push a babyface vs. babyface scenario, then they'd be better off not bothering at all. It's vital then, should this match ever happen, that Orton is an absolute terror who wants to add one more legend to his hit list, whilst The Rock can't stand the thought of being upstaged on his return.

Legend Maker vs. Legend Killer running along the marquee? Sounds rather tasty.

It's also a match that has never happened, not in a one-on-one capacity anyway. Rocky did team with Mick Foley at WrestleMania XX to take on Orton and his Evolution buddies, but that was different, and it came when Randy was right at the start of his career.
