#25 An ad in all but name (WrestleMania 27)
The main event of WrestleMania 27 is one of the most forgettable in the history of the Show of Shows. In truth, it was only an advertisement for the main event for the following year. As a result, this match ended anticlimactically and cheapened the WWE Championship in the process. The entire leadup, in fact, was an anticlimax, with The Miz being an irrelevancy ever since The Rock made his dramatic return that February.
I'm not sure what WWE could have done here, in all honesty. This was just one of those times where fate would turn against what was being seen on camera. There was no way that the company couldn't go in the direction of Rock vs. Cena once that option became available. The Miz was simply a casualty of circumstance. Things just wind up working out like that sometimes.
