10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 27 Facts
2. The Miz Suffered A Concussion During The Barricade Spot
The Miz and John Cena's WWE Championship was certainly not on the higher end of classic WrestleMania main events, and is often cited as one reason why WrestleMania 27 was such a colossal disappointment. To make matters worse, Miz suffered a potentially serious injury in the closing stages of the match, in a spot that only deflated the crowd further.
With Miz knocked over the corner of the ringside barricade, Cena then leapt over the wall, spearing Miz onto the concrete floor en route to a false countout finish. In taking the bump, Miz's head bounced off the floor, giving the reigning WWE Champion a legit concussion.
Thankfully, there was little bumping required for Miz after the match's restart (save for a Rock Bottom). He would pass concussion protocol a week later and returned to the ring quickly enough.
