#3 The Rock and Ronda Rousey embarrass the Authority

Oh, hello Shayna.
Oh, hello Shayna.

About an hour after defeating Sting, Triple H joined Stephanie McMahon in the ring to announce the Levi's Stadium attendance record for WrestleMania and, eventually, run down the WWE Universe. But just as the Game bellowed "The Authority always wins", The Rock's music hit.

The Great One had some fun with the people, before proceeding to make a WrestleMania moment with Triple H. His wife intercepted, cutting a scathing promo on The Rock before slapping the taste out of his mouth.

That was the cue for Rock to enlist the help of then-UFC megastar, Ronda Rousey. Leaving her ringside seat alongside her fellow UFC Horsewomen, Rousey entered the ring alongside The Rock to make a truly memorable WrestleMania moment.

The two of them took out the Authority, with Ronda Rousey giving us fans a preview of what she would do to Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34. It was a great first look for her, while The Rock got to enjoy another surprise 'Mania appearance.

But best of all, the 'Queen of WWE' got her yearly comeuppance on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
