WWE WrestleMania 29: The Rock bows out of WrestleMania
WrestleMania 29 also referred to as WrestleMania NY/NJ was the twenty-ninth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, held on 7 April 2013 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The attendance for the show was reported as 80,676 fans and this was also the second highest attended event in the history of WWE after WrestleMania III. The match card comprised of a total of nine matches.
After their match at WrestleMania 28, everyone expected that rivalry between The Rock and John Cena would continue for some more days but very few expected that this bout will be dragged on till WrestleMania 29 that is scheduled to happen exactly a year after that night.
This time around, the stakes are even higher as these two men fought for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With all this said, let us have a look at some of the best moments from this event-
The Shield vs Randy Orton/Sheamus/Big Show
This was the time in the WWE during which the Shield had grown into a super indestructible force and that's what helped them to secure a spot in the WrestleMania match card.
They competed against the Big Show, Randy Orton and Sheamus in a six-man tag match. Things started well for the latter but it was their divisive attitude that cost them the match.
During the closing moments of the fight, Ambrose and Orton were fighting inside the ring and Rollins tried to disturb the proceedings by jumping onto Orton from the top rope.
The Viper responded in his own style by delivering an RKO out of nowhere to Rollins. Reigns quickly came into the ring and speared Orton and Dean Ambrose, the legal man covered him for the win. Show even knocked out both Sheamus and Randy in frustration after the match.
