From The Rock’s Return to Rollins’ Cash In: Most Controversial WrestleMania Moments
Follow Us
In its 36-year-old history, WrestleMania has had some of the most scandalous moments in WWE History. However, each of those moments turned a different chapter in WWE history.
Recently, to commemorate some scandalous moments, WWE uploaded a ‘Top 10’ list on their YouTube Channel. There are moments from both the past and modern times in the said video.
The first clip is from WrestleMania 34 of 2018. After a grueling match with AJ Styles, babyface Shinsuke Nakamura pretended to present him with the WWE title. However, he low-blowed Styles and turned heel.

Then, we had a “double Doink” moment from WrestleMania 9, when, in order to help Doink the Clown against Crush, another Doink appeared and hit the latter with a prosthetic arm.
Up next was The Rock attacking John Cena in his match to reclaim the WWE title at WrestleMania 27. This would later result in the “Once in a Lifetime” match between the two at the following Mania.
The following moment came up at WrestleMania 28 when Eve Torres betrayed Team Teddy as she low-blowed Zack Ryder. NFL tight end, Rob Gronkowski, attacked Jinder Mahal at WrestleMania 33 — it’s hard to believe it took WWE another three years to get Gronk back in a WWE ring after this.
The Top 5 Controversial WrestleMania Moments
The fifth moment came from the infamous ending of one of the most controversial WrestleManias. Just after Bret Hart lost to then-WWF champion Yokozuna, the latter granted Hulk Hogan a title match. Hogan won the match after Fuji accidentally threw salt in Yokozuna’s eyes.
WrestleMania 25 held an illustrious Battle Royale to determine Miss WrestleMania. The Battle Royale, which featured women Superstars from past and present, saw none other than Santino Marella win.
