Cena then knocks Miz over the security wall where the fans are. The referee counts them both out.
Draw; Double Count Out, Still WWE Champion: The Miz
- After the match, The Rock's music hits and out he comes.
Cena and Miz are still laid out over the wall as the RAW General Manager's e-mail alert goes off. The Rock walks to the podium and prepares to make the announcement. The Rock stops after a few words and says it doesn't matter what the GM thinks, then throws the laptop off the podium. Rock enters the ring and says there's no way WrestleMania is over and restarts the match - no DQ's, no count outs, no time limits, no crying to your mama. Rock says there's no way this match will end like that. Rock tells everyone involved to stick something up their candy ass and says it's time to give the people what they want.
Cena and Miz are at ringside now as the bell rings. Cena goes for an Attitude Adjustment in the ring but Miz hangs on. Cena turns around and The Rock lays him out with a Rock Bottom. The Miz takes advantage and covers Cena for the pin and the win.
Winner: The Miz
- After the match, The Rock goes to the foot of the ramp as The Miz celebrates in the ring. Miz and Rock have a staredown as the crowd chants "Rocky." Rock rushes the ring and unloads on The Miz. Rock lays him out and hits The People's Elbow as the crowd pops. The Rock climbs the turnbuckle and poses for the fans as his music hits. We go to replays. WrestleMania 27 goes off the air with The Rock posing for the fans. The last we saw of John Cena was him getting pinned.
