While Randy Orton may be a legitimate star in the present day, he certainly wasn’t back in 2005. Because of that, WWE felt as if he needed to have a marquee match at WrestleMania in order to try and elevate him to the next level – and they certainly accomplished that goal when they paired him up against the one and only Deadman.
The two went at it in Los Angeles in a classic rookie vs legend kind of role, as Randy attempted to add Taker to his list of legends he’d conquered. Unfortunately for him, despite a fantastic RKO counter late in the match, it was the veteran who walked away with yet another notch on his WrestleMania record.

Thirteen years on, Orton is a bigger name than anyone could’ve anticipated.
