Some of the greatest rivalries in WWE history involve the Apex Predator Randy Orton. His feuds with Triple H, Adam Copeland, Bray Wyatt, John Cena, and many more have been some of the iconic ones. One such rivalry of his was back in 2006 when The Viper was feuding with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Recently, AEW star Adam Cole reflected on how he denied a kiss just so he could watch the two veterans wrestle.
While speaking with Case Lowe from Q101, Adam Cole mentioned that during his time in high school, he, his friend and their dates were hanging out watching No Way Out 2006 on DVD. While his friend was busy with his date, The date’s friend was trying to kiss Cole. But the former NXT World Champion stopped her and told her that he needed to watch Mysterio versus Orton.
“It’s 100% true. Yes, yes… Sure sure, and actually, it never got to the kissing portion, it never even happened. What happened was I was in high school, like a freshman or sophomore in high school and my best friend was there, he had a girl that he really liked and they were dating at the time. The girl brought a friend who thought I was very cute. We all were hanging out, those two were smooching on the other couch.
“We had No Way Out, Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton — by the way, I was at this show. I was there. I had already seen the match, but I wanted to watch it on DVD and she was trying to kiss me. And I said, ‘Hey, listen, not right now, I got to watch Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton.’ I was dedicated my friend, dedicated,” Adam Cole said. [H/T Fightful.com]
