8. The Miz Defeats John Cena (WrestleMania XXVII)
Speaking of which, none other than The Miz can also claim victory in his bout in the top liner at WrestleMania. There were shenanigans, as The Rock nailed John Cena with a well-placed Rock Bottom, but the history books dictate that Miz left with his hand raised. In truth, it wasn't the best of matches, one that couldn't hope to follow The Undertaker vs. Triple H, or even a terrific match between CM Punk and Randy Orton earlier on the card. It seemed that WWE simply placed this one at the top of the billing because the WWE Title was on the line, or perhaps it was due to The Rock's involvement. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the match, The Miz was the heel, and the heel would leave victorious. Legitimately suffering a concussion towards the end of the contest, Miz later stated that he can't really remember the last few minutes of the match, which is a shame, because it's likely the only time he'll emerge as the winner in the main event of 'Mania!
