10 Of The Biggest WWE Pops Ever
10 of the biggest pops in WWE history
8. John Cena & Edge Return - Royal Rumble 2008 and Royal Rumble 2020
Choosing just one Royal Rumble pop is tough, so we’ve picked two instead.
Rumours that retired Hall of Famer Edge was making his return at the 2020 Royal Rumble proved to be true when the opening sting of “You think you know me” echoed around Minute Maid Park. Edge was back after nine years out with injury, and he looked better than ever. The crowd’s huge pop when he entered through a cloud of steam was proof that his presence on WWE TV had been sorely missed.
As for John Cena, he hadn’t been gone nearly as long as his old rival, but his comeback in 2008 was still pretty impressive. In a match against Mr Kennedy on Raw, Cena tore his pectoral muscle and was sidelined for several months. Several turned into “just a few” pretty quickly, because John Cena is simply not human. He came back way ahead of schedule as the 30th man in the Rumble, eventually eliminating Triple H to win the whole thing. It’s one of the biggest cheers Cena has ever gotten.
