Randy Orton has revealed the surprising and unique warm-up that he employed at WrestleMania 24 involving rap superstar Snoop Dogg.
Taking to Twitter to correct an earlier post that suggested that his meeting with Dogg took place a year later at WrestleMania 25, ‘The Viper’ had this to say:

Orton would then steal the victory from Triple H, punting him in the head while ‘The Game’ had Cena pinned. Orton would cover Cena for the win and successful title defense.
Snoop Dogg was at the event to act as the ‘Master of Ceremonies’ for the Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack match. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix would team with Melina to defeat Maria Kanellis and Ashley Massaro. Dogg would get involved in the action, hitting a clothesline on an interfering Santino Marella. Snoop Dogg would make a further WrestleMania appearance at WrestleMania 32. Dogg would perform his cousin Sasha Bank’s entrance theme for her triple threat match to crown the WWE Women’s Champion.
