When The Rock and John Cena went head to head at WrestleMania 28 in Miami, the world rejoiced. It was a contest between two of the greatest Superstars in the history of the business and it genuinely felt like a huge moment. Unfortunately, when the rematch took place just twelve months later, the WWE Universe wasn't quite as receptive to the idea.

You could've had a triple threat including Punk or just changed the finish of the match because it felt very lather rinse repeat. The parade of finishers slightly ramped up the intensity but also made it feel predictable, and it would've been the perfect time to finally pull the trigger on a John Cena heel turn.

Alas, we were left with a passing of the torch moment that didn't really work. Let's rewind two years to when Cena's influence was once again felt on the grandest stage.
