Randy Orton and John Cena teamed together in 2008 in the run up to WrestleMania 24.
The catch however, was that they would face 17 other members of the RAW roster in a 17 on 2 handicap match at the behest of GM for the night Triple H.
The match would end in a DQ finish as chaos reigned, but fans got to see Orton and Cena team up at the time for a brief period.
Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Snitsky, who was involved in the match, stated that the match was a “nightmare” to plan.
“I just remember the nightmare of trying to set it up. With that many guys involved, it’s almost like a Royal Rumble. Everybody had their spot, everybody has their time. I always joke around with the guys at the shop, ‘I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, I don’t know how I remembered that stuff back then.’ With all the chairshots I’ve had, the tables I’ve been through. The guys are just laughing and I show them video. Back in those days, you got hit with a chair, you didn’t put your hand up. You just got hit with the chair. There’s that video going around of Big Show hitting me in the head with a kitchen sink. You can see clearly that I don’t have my hands up and I’m not protecting myself, just getting hit square in the head with a kitchen sink. Luckily, I have a thick cranium because I’ve been hit in the head with a lot of things over the years…not counting the stuff my wife hits me with in the basement,”
Snisky
The match would last around ten minutes and as mentioned before, would end in a DQ.
