12 Most Memorable WrestleMania Returns Of All Time

5. The Rock - WrestleMania 27

For seven years, Dwayne Johnson had gone to Hollywood and stayed there. It looked like he would never return to the WWE ever again. The week before the 2011 Elimination Chamber on Raw, The Rock finally came home, as it was announced that he would be the guest host for WrestleMania 27. What made the announcement even more intriguing was that in his return promo, The Rock took shots at John Cena. At WrestleMania, The Rock opened up the show with an extended monologue that essentially bumped Sheamus and Daniel Bryan to the preshow. He then interfered in the main event and cost John Cena his chance at winning the WWE title from The Miz, which means that Miz will go down in the record book as winning the main event of WrestleMania. Gee, thanks Rock.
