5. Once In A Lifetime...Again...

The Rock graciously raises John Cena's hand after losing in the main event of WrestleMania 29 - a rematch of their supposed 'Once in a Lifetime' bout the year before.

'Once in a Lifetime' would prove to be untrue, as just one year later the pair would clash in a rematch. This time the bout was less well received, given the controversial booking circumstances surrounding it. A very predictable Royal Rumble saw The Rock defeat the molten hot CM Punk, while Cena won the Rumble match to set up the obvious rematch.

To the surprise of very few, Cena avenged his earlier loss, defeating The Rock clean and scooping the WWE Championship once again. Rocky played the gracious loser, holding his opponent's arm aloft to a rather dubious reaction among hardcore fans.
