5 Most Memorable WWE WrestleMania Comebacks of the Last Decade

CSS code for a video player container defines its width, height, and background color. The height is calculated using a formula that takes into account the aspect ratio of 16:9, suitable for widescreen videos. This setup ensures that the player takes up the full width of its container and has a height that maintains the widescreen aspect ratio. For smaller screens, such as devices with a maximum width of 768 pixels, the video player adjusts its size accordingly, with its height once again calculated to maintain the aspect ratio, and additional margins are added for better spacing.

WrestleMania 40 is just around the corner, and fans are buzzing with excitement over the star-studded match card. This event is a pivotal moment for WWE, as fans eagerly await the outcomes of the matches. It’s a time when the wrestling community often sees former stars and legends return to the ring, either for one-time appearances or full-fledged comebacks, adding to the spectacle and nostalgia of the event.

One of the most memorable returns in the past decade was at WrestleMania 31 when the New World Order (nWo), consisting of Scott Hall, Hulk Hogan, and Kevin Nash, made a comeback. Their return was particularly significant as they supported wrestling icon Sting in his first-ever WWE match against Triple H. The match turned into a nostalgic brawl when DX came out to support Triple H, and nWo countered by assisting Sting. Despite the interference, Triple H emerged victorious, and the match concluded with a respectful handshake between the two legends.

Another surprise return took place at WrestleMania 38 when Cody Rhodes re-emerged as Seth Rollins’ mystery opponent. Rhodes, who had reportedly ended his stint with AEW, made a triumphant return to WWE, winning the match and subsequently engaging in a series of high-profile feuds. His comeback marked the beginning of a new chapter as he became a central figure in the company, facing off against other top stars.

WrestleMania 32 saw the return of two of the industry’s biggest names, The Rock and John Cena. The Rock, who had been focusing on his acting career, interrupted the Wyatt Family during a special segment, leading to an impromptu match with Erick Rowan, which he won in record time. John Cena made a surprise appearance to assist The Rock, marking his return from a shoulder injury and reigniting their past rivalry. This event was a significant moment for fans, as it brought together two icons who had headlined previous WrestleManias.

The Hardy Boyz made an unexpected comeback at WrestleMania 33, adding to the list of unforgettable returns. After years away from WWE, exploring other promotions like IMPACT Wrestling, the Hardy Boyz appeared during a fatal four-way tag team match for the RAW Tag Team Titles. Announced by The New Day, the brothers received an overwhelming response from the crowd and went on to win the championship, proving their enduring popularity and cementing their legacy in tag team wrestling.

A poll is included to gauge fan interest in seeing The Hardy Boyz make another significant return at WrestleMania 40. Fans are invited to vote on whether they would like to witness another comeback from the iconic tag team duo at the upcoming event.
