5 most shocking WrestleMania returns

#4 John Cena (WrestleMania 32)

The Rock and John Cena after seeing off the Wyatt Family at WrestleMania 32

Ahead of the big day at AT&T Stadium, the Rock had been busy on social media teasing an appearance at the show, so while his eventual emergence wasn’t too surprising, the identity of the man who joined him was.

After an impromptu match with Erick Rowan, as well as an odd segment in which he used a flamethrower to set alight a massive billboard with his name on it, the Rock found himself surrounded by the Wyatts.

Rather than burying the faction by himself, though, he suddenly found himself flanked by John Cena. That’s the same John Cena who’d been out of action for three months with a shoulder injury, and the same John Cena who’d had such an infamous feud with the Great One at WrestleManias XXVIII and 29.

The return from injury, plus the unusual pairing of these former foes, made this one shocking in more ways than one. And even though the Wyatts came out looking like chumps, Cena’s arrival had at least provided a pretty sweet WrestleMania moment.
