5. Evolution vs. Rock-‘N’-Sock Connection ( WWE WrestleMania 20)
Is there a better way to make a WrestleMania debut? Imagine this layout in today’s context: Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Batista in one ring that against The Rock and Mick Foley. There are about 50 World Championships, give or take, between these five men and it was an amazing learning experience for Randy and Batista to be in the ring with all of these icons.
Batista’s role in the match was to be a heater for the Evolution team and the main story was between Randy Orton and Mick Foley but it was a very fun wrestling match and the last time we would see this combination together, not to mention the only time we would see The Rock in the ring with Dave Bautista.
Evolution would pick up the victory here, starting Dave’s WrestleMania career off on the right foot. One of the reasons that Dave and Randy were able to become such main attractions is because they were able to be in the ring and defeat these top Legends which allowed the audience to know that these were wrestlers to watch because they were going to be a very big deal.
