Triple H will never say "He never loses" ever again when these two are finished with them.
The Rock
He’s been dubbed The Great One, The People’s Champion and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment, but mere words fail to capture the essence of the most charismatic Superstar of all time. Although the catchphrase “boots to asses” comes awfully close.
The first third-generation Superstar in WWE history, the man born Dwayne Johnson was destined for sports-entertainment immortality since birth, but his rise to the status of a pop culture icon was harder to predict. In the time since he made his debut as a grinning good guy at the 1996 Survivor Series,
The Brahma Bull has won seven WWE Championships, headlined WrestleMania, hosted “Saturday Night Live,” written a New York Times bestselling autobiography and starred in films like “Fast Five” and “The Game Plan,” which have grossed literally billions of dollars. And, the amazing thing is, he’s just getting started.
Son of WWE Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson, the University of Miami football standout showed promise early when he won the Intercontinental Championship within months of first setting foot in the ring. From there, The Rock’s momentum never slowed as he laid the smackdown on “Attitude Era” rivals like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Triple H while spouting off endless catchphrases that immediately became part of national conversation. With one eyebrow cocked, The People’s Champion would warn jabronis to “Know your role and shut your mouth” or “Just bring it!” before delivering his devastating finishing maneuver, The Rock Bottom, on the way to victory.
The 6-foot-5 competitor was soon fielding offers to star in films like “The Scorpion King” and “Gridiron Gang” thanks to the endless charisma and sex appeal he exuded in the squared circle. Now a Hollywood leading man, The Rock left WWE to pursue his acting career, only to successfully return to the ring against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania XXVIII — and prove to WWE’s newest generation of fans that he truly is The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment.
Rock’s victory over the Cenation leader guaranteed him a WWE Championship opportunity at the 2013 Royal Rumble. The Great One took advantage of the opening and ended CM Punk’s historic 434-day reign in epic fashion. One month later, in a brutal rematch at Elimination Chamber, The Brahma Bull once again prevailed against the devious former champion. Now, the stage was set for an epic WrestleMania return bout against the Cenation leader.
In front of more than 80,000 WWE fans, The Rock took every opportunity to try and throw Cena off his hustle. The head games did not faze Cena this time, and The Rock fell victim to an Attitude Adjustment, with the WWE Title slipping from his grasp in the blink of an eye.
On April 6, 2014, The Great One returned at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans, where he joined “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan in the ring to kick off The Show of Shows for an epic WrestleMania moment.
At Royal Rumble 2015, after Roman Reigns eliminated Big Show and Kane, The Authority members attacked Reigns prompting The Rock to come to his aid. The Great One and Reigns cleared the ring. Although Reigns thought he was victorious, Rusev — who was never eliminated — attempted to win the match but Reigns secured the victory and celebrated the win with The People's Champ.
Randy Orton
Randy Orton was born a WWE Superstar.
From the moment he was hatched, The Viper walked among the ring’s most revered figures, even calling one of them “dad.” His father is WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton, his uncle Barry “Barry O” Orton and his grandfather, the late “The Big O,” Bob Orton Sr., all among the most fierce and rugged grapplers of their generations.
Most kids remember their first ball game or school play; Randy’s childhood memories include sitting in the kitchen of his family’s St. Louis home with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, and repairing a broken banister leaned on by Andre the Giant. He wasn’t even 5 years old when he watched his father knock out “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff in the main event at the inaugural WrestleMania.
When he arrived in WWE, Triple H and Ric Flair groomed him early on, welcoming him into their elite faction, Evolution. Under their tutelage, the 24-year-old Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion, although an envious Triple H, who coveted Orton’s championship, attacked his stablemate and jettisoned him from the faction.
The treachery was shocking, but also critical to Randy’s own evolution. In the years that followed, he not only perfected his “Legend Killing” RKO — a signature move named after his initials that has taken out the likes of The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan — but he formed dangerous alliances with Edge as half of Rated-RKO in 2004 and with The Legacy’s Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase.
More recently, The Viper has chosen to partner with internal voices stirred by Intermittent Explosive Disorder, a disease marked by extreme outbursts of rage, winning his tenth World Title at SummerSlam 2013 from Daniel Bryan with a shocking assist from special guest referee, WWE COO and longtime rival Triple H. In the months that followed, Orton battled Bryan to be the Champion of Champions and the Face of WWE, becomming the first-ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the process.
With continued help from The Authority, Orton was indeed the Face of WWE heading into WrestleMania 30, where he battled Batista and Bryan in a massive Triple Threat Match for his title. To the amazement of all, Bryan forced Batista to tap out to the "Yes!" Lock to capture the title on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
After temporarily reforming Evolution with Triple H and Batista to unsuccessfully battle The Shield at Extreme Rules and WWE Payback — incredible clashes between two of the most dominant factions in WWE history — Orton now looks to the future.
After being put out of action for several months at the hands of Seth Rollins and The Authority, The Viper returned at WWE Fastlane, taking out J&J Security and Kane with huge RKOs! Orton hand Rollins in his hands and was on the verge of getting payback, until Big Show rescued him. Knowing The Apex Predator, he won't rest until he gets vengeance on Mr. Money in the Bank.
Whether it's viciously attacking his rivals or dropping other Superstars with RKOs out of nowhere, Orton will take out anyone in his way because his sights are set on proving he's the undisputed "Face of WWE," even if he doesn't have The Authority's support.
