25 Lamest WrestleMania Moments Of All Time

11. WrestleMania XXVII - John Cena Vs. The Miz

WWE.com

People were skeptical when The Miz entered WrestleMania XXVII as WWE Champion, and though The Rock made his long-awaited return to the company in order to host the event, all that did was shift the focus of the main event to the Hollywood superstar's bad blood with John Cena.

Fans worried that the actual title match - Cena versus The Miz - was becoming an afterthought. Their fears were realized when the event drew to a close and The Rock, acting as enforcer in the main event, was the deciding factor in the bout. After he restarted the match following a double count out, The Rock nailed Cena with a Rock Bottom, allowing Miz to get the pin.

It was a disappointing ending to an uncharacteristically weak match between the two men, and little more than a hype job for a future encounter - hardly a worthy WrestleMania main event. Here's hoping their mixed tag in Orlando will fare somewhat better.
