On February 14, 2011, the Rock was revealed as the host of WrestleMania XXVII, appearing live on "Raw" for the first time in almost seven years. During a lengthy promo, he addressed the fans and started a feud with John Cena. After numerous appearances via satellite, the Rock appeared live on the "Raw" before WrestleMania XXVII to confront Cena. After he and Cena exchanged insults, The Miz and Alex Riley appeared and attacked the Rock; he fended off Miz and Riley, only for Cena to blindside him with an "Attitude Adjustment".
