Both The Rock and Batista were asked to team with Rousey at WrestleMania, but declined. It doesn’t take a genius to understand why The Rock was reportedly WWE’s first choice to team with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania XXXIV.
That was definitely true for WWE’s signing of former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey earlier this year.
Ronda Rousey would team up with multi-time WWE champion – and former U.S. olympic gold medalist – Kurt Angle to take on HHH and Stephanie in a mixed tag team match.
The Rock also has an extensive history with HHH, and is arguably his greatest WWE rival of all time.
