Ranking all 35 WrestleMania endings

#11 A surprise a year in the making (WrestleMania 28)

There was a lot of hype for this one, so much so that WWE spent an entire year building this match. For the first time ever, the main event of a WrestleMania was made a year in advance. The Rock would return to the ring for the first time in eight years to do battle with the man that replaced him as the biggest star in the company. It was a match fantasized about for years. And it was happening.

Despite the hype, almost everyone expected that John Cena would win. There was no way that Vince McMahon was going to have his ace lose to his former one, who had been gone from the company for the better part of a decade.

And then The Rock won.

There was jubilant celebration from fans who had grown tired of Cena, who had wanted to get those glory days back, the ones The Rock headlined. This was one last go-around for the Great One and everything he represented.
