#4 The Rock vs John Cena I
Trending
Once more I ask for forgiveness, although it does not really matter because the XXVIII main event ultimately delivered on the promise and felt like a huge WrestleMania with these two squaring off.
The fact that The Rock actually beat the current face of the company, who had jobbed to the existing WWE champion twice in the proceeding year, makes it all the better.

Cena would ultimately get his just desserts, but the conclusion in Miami was enough to close a memorable show in shocking fashion and put a bit of doubt into the relentless Cena push of previous years.
Embarrassing as it is for those of us who believed it might have actually facilitated a heel turn, I’d argue that it was actually more shameful to run back ‘Once in a Lifetime’ and since then, accomplish nothing of note with your biggest star at Mania.
Besides Shawn Michaels, this is Cena’s best WrestleMania match. This might not be saying a lot, but is a testament to what he was able to get done with a Hollywood movie star and a lot of kicking out of finishers.
Sadly this started a run when part-timers have near-exclusively been a part of the closer, with only the 30th main event (consisting of 3 guys who actually did house shows) proving a better match than the first Rock-Cena clash.
