Number 5: Madison Square Shocker
Same old story, but this one was different. John Cena tore his pectoral muscle on Raw in October of 2007. What was deemed as a seven month rehab assignment, John Cena looked to miss WrestleMania XXIV. With so much stock invested in Cena at the time, including his slight transition into a face/heel from the fans, Cena would return two and a half months later, not seven, and return at number 30 in the Royal Rumble. The jaw dropping look on Triple H’s face told the entire story. The crowd in MSG erupted to a deafening pitch. Cena returned, eliminated Triple H last, and went on to WrestleMania to main event once again. Many can question his in ring skills, but nobody can question his toughness and heart. He can be disliked for many thing, but personally, cannot be disliked for how much he bleeds the business. Cena returned was kept so secretive and was a complete surprise to everyone.
