#3 Major disappointment: The Rock and John Cena Vs. The Miz and R-Truth (Survivor Series 2011)

Though the Brahama Bull and the Champ were at odds, no-one doubted for a second that the two would beat Miz and Truth

The Rock returned to WWE in 2011 as the host of WrestleMania 27, but that was not the only reason behind the Great One's return. He started a feud with John Cena leading to their WrestleMania 28 encounter which WWE labelled as a "Once in a Lifetime" dream contest.

The fans had high expectations for the Rock's comeback match against Cena at WrestleMania 28, but WWE decided to give fans what they thought they wanted a bit it early with The Rock teaming up with Cena to take on The Miz & R-Truth at Survivor Series 2011.

While there's nothing to complain about the match, it would've been more iconic if the Rock had his much-awaited comeback against John Cena at WrestleMania 28. WWE could've made the fans wait to see the Rock lace up his boots until he faced Cena at WrestleMania instead of bringing him back for a tag team match that everyone knew the pair were going to win with ease.
