The Rock's 10 WWE World Championship Reigns Ranked From Worst To Best

10. WWE Championship (10th) 27 January 2013 - 7 April 2013

Having wrestled his last match at WrestleMania XX in 2004 and making his last live appearance on WWE programming later that year, The Rock finally returned to WWE in early 2011 to host WrestleMania XXVII. One year later, ‘The Great One’ defeated John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania XXVIII in Rock’s hometown of Miami.

On RAW 1000 in July 2012, The Rock announced to the world he would challenge for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble in January 2013. At the event, he defeated CM Punk to win his eighth WWE Championship (his tenth World Championship overall), more than ten years after his ninth.

After defeating Punk in a rematch at February’s Elimination Chamber and unveiling a new championship belt, the 'Brahma Bull' lost the title to John Cena at WrestleMania 29 in a rematch from the prior year. The reign wasn’t bad (none of them were), but the fact that CM Punk’s historic WWE Championship reign ended to set up the ‘Once in a Lifetime’ rematch makes his last reign the worst in the legendary wrestling career of ‘The Great One’.
