Few can claim they knew John Cena was going to make an appearance at WrestleMania 32. During the press conference for 'Mania 33, the man himself claimed that he wouldn't be in attendance for this year's show, yet confirmed himself for the 2017 iteration of the event. That turned out to be an attempt from Cena to throw people off the scent.

It worked, because his sprint down the aisle to aid The Rock against The Wyatt Family came as a complete surprise. There weren't as many boos for the guy as usual, largely because he only played a minor role on the show and was gone after just a few minutes. 

Remarkably, Cena revealed during an interview with Larry King's ORA.TV that hardly anybody knew he was at the AT&T Stadium. Instead of getting changed in a fancy dressing room, Cena made do with a nearby janitor's closet. 

One of the biggest stars in the industry was so determined to keep word from getting out that he agreed to get dressed in a dingy cupboard. That's dedication!
