10 Weirdest WWE PPV Main Events Ever
5. The Rock & John Cena vs The Awesome Truth - Survivor Series 2011
Survivor Series 2011 bore witness to a moment that would change the wrestling landscape forever.
After over seven years out of the ring, The Rock, one of the biggest stars of all time, was stepping back between the ropes and he was joining forces with another top name in John Cena!
And who were they facing? The Miz and R-Truth...
Ok then.
The Awesome Truth had been causing trouble in WWE for a couple months, including costing Cena the WWE title against Alberto Del Rio at Vengeance. After his original partner Zack Ryder was taken out, Cena picked The Rock as his replacement in one of the greatest upgrades in wrestling history.
Sorry Zack, but it's true.
Yes, Miz and Truth were being pushed as a threat at the time, but absolutely zero people bought them as a top act. The eyeball test alone proved that they weren't on the same level as these two gods among men and now, whenever somebody asks "Who did The Rock face in his comeback match?", the answer will always be "two midcard goofballs".
Maybe Zack Ryder would have been better after all.
