10 Best Moments Of The Rock's WWE Comeback

7. His First Match Back

Before Rock and Cena collided at the Showcase of the Immortals they were to team together, taking on The Miz and R-Truth in the main event of the 2011 Survivor Series. 

There was automatic intrigue as to what would happen on that night in Madison Square Garden, as The Rock had previously cost Cena the WWE Title at WrestleMaia XXVII and the build to their hotly-anticipated match had started on Raw the day after. 

While Miz and Truth were hardly a match for the two icons, at least on paper, they were quite hot during this time and more than warranted their marquee positioning. 

As a match, The Rock and Cena versus Miz and Truth was far from a technical classic. But it was never going to be and, really, match quality was secondary here. 

This was all about seeing The Rock wrestle for the first time in close to eight years, his last match having been at WrestleMania XX in March of 2004. 

He looked sharp, too, not displaying an ounce of ring rust as you might expect as he fired off arm drags and rapid fire punches, before playing the greatest hits.  

The bulk of the action was basic and I don't think you'd get any prizes for guessing who was going over. The Great One won with the People's Elbow, though that wasn't the end of it. 

In the post-match scene, Rock dropped Cena with a Rock Bottom to keep their feud simmering, as the crowd roared in approval.
