10 WWE Legends Who Came Back And Ruined Everything

10. The Rock

This can of worms is being opened early, so brace yourselves.

To be fair, The Rock returning to WWE in 2024 and temporarily derailing the plan for Cody Rhodes to finally finish the story against Roman Reigns could still work out. But, is the damage already done?

Dwayne Johnson is one of the most popular wrestlers of all-time. He was never the greatest, but he took Vince McMahon's imaginary brass ring when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was put on the shelf in the peak of the Attitude Era and helped make WWE one of the most talked about brand in the world.

The thing is: his last full-time run was over 20 years ago; since he lost to Goldberg (oh, we'll get to him later) at Backlash 2003, the Brahma Bull has wrestled seven matches. Cody Rhodes has fought in over 2000!

Everybody knew that WWE would bring him back eventually for a showdown with the Head of the Table, but it's how they've gone and done it.

The jury will still be out until after WrestleMania, but 'The Great One' almost made the biggest show of the year a lot less than electrifying...
