CENA John Cena addresses WrestleMania XXVII and its host, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel vs. John Cena & The Miz - WWE Tag Team Championship Match

A crafty The Miz strikes first and hits his target Cena with his Skull Crushing Final.

In the quickest WWE Tag Team Championship reign in history, the odd pairing of The Miz & John Cena dropped their short-lived titles when the WWE Champion
stabbed his partner squarely in the back.

Rarely has social media been so unsociable. During a Steel Cage Match between John Cena and Alex Riley, WWE Champion The Miz used his cell phone to tweet out a photo of his WrestleMania opponent with his face pressed against the unforgiving steel grid. He then tossed the phone to Riley, who used it to clock his opponent in the face.
In the end, though, Riley lost the match ... and his job as a result. As stipulated, the frat-boy fighter was forced to retire as Miz's apprentice after his defeat. The Cenation Commander-in-Chief did not celebrate long, however, before Miz ambushed him with a Skull Crushing Finale onto the cold, hard arena floor.

In case anyone forgot who the WWE Champion is, The Miz was happy to refresh their memory. Though supposedly boycotting Raw The Cleveland Screamer surfaced from under the ring as John Cena addressed disparaging comments made by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a week earlier. The WWE Champion then attacked the Cenation Commander-in-Chief. As Miz lectured the WWE Universe and The Rock, his WrestleMania opponent lie writhing on the canvas. Just as it appeared the WWE Champion had wrapped up his tirade, he turned back to a dazed Cena and crushed him with a People's Elbow before bidding a fed-up farewell.

John Cena came to SmackDown to boldly proclaim that WWE Champion The Miz made the biggest mistake of his career when he blindsided Cena and hit him with the People's Elbow on Raw. When Michael Cole antagonized Cena about the night, all hell broke lose. In the end, Cole's WrestleMania trainer, Jack Swagger, was met with the full force of an Attitude Adjustment.

THE MIZ DECIMATES JOHN CENA

JOHN CENA VS ALBERTO DE RIO

For the first time ever, John Cena, the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, faced off against Alberto Del Rio, the No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. As the two men squared off, Del Rio's former NXT Rookie, Brodus Clay watched from the Mexican elitist's corner until the proceedings were interrupted by The Rock. Or at least what looked like The Rock. In actuality, it was WWE Champion The Miz dressed as The Brahma Bull.
The shenanigans distracted Cena, who quickly fell under the attack of Del Rio and Clay. With the Cenation Commander-in-Chief down, Miz joined in the beatdown, destroying totally Cena, eventually leaving him a lifeless heap on the arena floor.
