After suffering a torn pectoral muscle in October 2007, the WWE Universe believed that John Cena would likely return to action at some point after Wrestlemania, likely to be Summerslam. However, in one of those "anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation"-type moments, when the first few chords of "My Time Is Now" hit at Madison Square Garden during the 2008 Royal Rumble, the crowd at the event (as well as many people at home watching on Pay-Per-View are legitimately shocked to see him enter the ring. Cena won that year's Rumble event, and main evented Wrestlemania versus Triple H and Randy Orton. A moment to be seen just because of the crowd's response and Cena's knowing smirk, it's underrated in just how epic it truly is.
