The Rock in the ring with John Cena
Sunday night’s WrestleMania 32 was certainly an epic event filled with high-energy competition and a string of surprise appearances at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Here are the top moments of the night:
Brie Bella led Team Total Divas to victory over Team B.A.D. and Blonde in an intense five-on-five tag team match. Bella finished off the match by using husband Daniel Bryan’s signature “Yes Lock” move to force Naomi to tap out. Bryan recently announced his retirement from WWE, so this unexpected tribute seemed to mean a great deal to the fans.

Bella’s twin sister Nikki Bella, who is still recovering from a neck surgery, then came out to join Brie, Alicia Fox, Page, Nattie Neidhart and Eva Marie in the ring to celebrate the Divas’ victory.
The five ladies from pop group Fifth Harmony also treated the crowd at AT&T Stadium to a great rendition of “America the Beautiful” before the start of the night’s biggest matches.
The next big surprise was the arrival of Hall of Famers “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley, all of whom came in to face The League of Nations’ Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev and King Barrett.
Austin, also nicknamed “The Rattlesnake,” got the crowd in his hometown excited by performing his “Stone Cold Stunner” finishing move a few times before cracking open an ice cold beer just like he used to.
Rapper and Reggae artist Snoop Dogg also then made a surprise appearance, teaming up with singer Raven Felix to perform WWE Diva Sasha Banks‘ theme music as she made her way to the ring for her Triple Threat Women’s Championship match versus Charlotte and Becky Lynch. However, Charlotte won the title thanks to her “Figure 8” move, after forcing Lynch to tap out.
Finally, WWE legend and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson came out into the stadium, literally on fire, holding a giant flamethrower before announcing that WrestleMania 32 had set an all-time attendance record. In a surprising twist, the Wyatt Family’s Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper rudely interrupted The Rock’s speech and threw down a challenge.
Johnson accepted and quickly laid out Rowan with a “Rock Bottom” in just six seconds. The Rock found himself outnumbered but luckily, a familiar friend swooped in just in time to help him out: John Cena!
Between Cena’s “Attitude Adjustment” and The Rock’s “People’s Elbow,” nobody stood a chance. The crowd was clearly surprised by the treat of having not one but two WWE superstars in the ring at the same time.
