10 Best Stolen Wrestling Finishers In WWE History

10. John Cena's Rock Bottom (WrestleMania 29)

While their second match certainly wasn't 'bad,' and likely made WWE a lot of money, The Rock vs. John Cena II suffered from diminishing returns.

WrestleMania XXVIII's 'Once In A Lifetime' was a transcendent spectacle that felt special because we were told this would be the only time it'd ever happen. Having them rematch the following year devalued this, and with Rocky taking a divisive WWE Title win over CM Punk at the Royal Rumble, hype levels were way down.

Still, Rock and Cena are too talented to not make it work. They closed 'Mania 29 with another exciting clash that gradually warmed the tepid crowd up, particularly during a blazing homestretch that produced multiple finisher reversals and kickouts, and a textbook piece of signature move thievery from Cena.

Having just traded strikes with 'The Great One,' Cena hit Rocky with his own Rock Bottom, prompting one of the bout's most dramatic near-falls. Big Dwayne then hit the move himself, drawing another two count, and after a long, long period of reversals and counters, John finally nailed an Attitude Adjustment for the victory.
