If there’s anyone who can set a WrestleMania record just by showing up, it’s The Rock.

At the disappointing WrestleMania 32, The Great One came out to announce the totally real and not inflated at all attendance record for Dallas’ AT&T Stadium, eating up another 10 minutes of PPV time. But his presence drew out the Wyatt Family, who had nothing else to do at WrestleMania that night.

The trio confronted Rock, leading to the Brahma Bull to remove his outfit, revealing his wrestling gear. He challenged the Wyatts, and Erick Rowan answered the call… and walked right into a Rock Bottom for a record six-second loss.

Just like that, fans got an extra “match” at WrestleMania featuring the Rock. However, it literally was a one-move, pop-the-crowd deal. And it established a new record for the shortest Mania match, a record that likely will stand for a long time.
