11 times WWE made history at Madison Square Garden which you might not remember

#9 John Cena is entrant number 30 (Royal Rumble 2008)

John Cena

Another moment from Madison Square Garden, which also involved Triple H is the return of John Cena. John Cena had been out a long time following pectoral surgery, and his absence from the ring had been something that had made the WWE Universe, who love to hate John Cena, miss him and wish for his return.

It was the 2008 Royal Rumble match. Both The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels were still in the match dominating inside the squared circle. However, when Michaels and Undertaker were eliminated, it appeared that the only people capable of winning the match were Batista, Kane, or Triple H.

However, the 30th entrant was yet to make their way out to the ring.

When the countdown ended and the music played, it was none other than John Cena. Cena had been the last person the fans had been expecting to see enter, given that he was supposed to be out for 6 more months. Thankfully, he was able to return after pectoral surgery.

He made his mark on that match almost immediately, by defeating going through the rest of the stars. He was able to win the Royal Rumble after he eliminated Triple H.

The expression on Triple H's face when Cena's music hit pretty much captured the atmosphere of the arena.
