The Rock to face 10-time WWE Champion with Cody Rhodes history in first-time-ever dream match? Possibility explored

The Rock's heel turn during the WrestleMania Kickoff press event in Las Vegas has kept fans buzzing. It has been a little over 20 years since we have seen The People's Champion in a villainous role.

Further, WWE has recently released a WrestleMania 40 teaser trailer, which adds extra anticipation among fans regarding the future of The Great One on the Road to WrestleMania 40.

However, recently, a potential belief has arisen that leads to speculation of a match between The Rock and 10-time WWE Champion Randy Orton. This comes after the press conference where The Great One seemingly tried to establish the Anoa'i family as superior to other wrestling families. This didn't only specifically target the Rhodes family but also seemingly targeted other wrestling households, including the Orton family.

For those unaware, The Viper is also a third-generation superstar. Before The Apex Predator, Bob Orton Sr, Bob Orton Jr, and Barry Orton were all part of the wrestling business.

So, a potential story that might unfold could witness Randy Orton stepping up to The Rock and Bloodline by stating this. Also, Orton and Cody have a history together as part of a faction named Legacy.

Further, The Viper has been involved in a feud against the Samoan faction multiple times, but he has never wrestled The Rock, which makes their potential showdown their first-ever dream match in the Stamford-based promotion.

However, it is important to note that Orton is currently gearing up to compete in the Men's Elimination Chamber Match, where he has the opportunity to get a World Heavyweight Championship shot at WrestleMania 40.
