The Rock seizes the WWE Title and Cena wins the Rumble
The Rock survived CM Punk's array of manoeuvres and an attack by the Shield to pluck the WWE Championship at Sunday's Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
The Great One - competing in his first championship match in over a decade - engaged in a brutal brawl with Punk in Phoenix, Arizona, but his hopes of claiming gold appeared to be shattered when the lights went out and the Shield interfered, allowing Punk to pin his rival.
Vince McMahon had stated beforehand that should the rogue trio interject themselves into the WWE Title bout, Punk would be stripped of the title - and the WWE Chairman appeared post-match to carry out his promise, much to the champion's chagrin.
But The Rock, still retrieving his breath after the Shield's triple powerbomb, urged McMahon to restart the clash instead, and then proceeded to hit Punk with the People's Elbow to capture the 10th world title of his illustrious career - and end the Chicagoan's 434-day reign with the strap.

Kofi Kingston avoided elimination in the 2012 Royal Rumble by performing a handstand and wowed the crowd again at the US Airways Center, using a mixture of Tensai, the Spanish announce desk and a chair to prevent his feet from hitting the floor.
NXT star Bo Dallas impressed in the Rumble, too, lasting over 20 minutes and eliminating Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett - before the irate Brit yanked him out of the ring in the way of retribution.
Alberto Del Rio maintained his grip on the World Heavyweight Championship, meanwhile, by beating Big Show in a Last Man Standing match; the challenger failing to make the 10-count after Del Rio's personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, had duct-taped his feet to the ring ropes.
Plus, Team Hell No bested Team Rhodes Scholars to extend their spell with the WWE Tag Team Titles and Antonio Cesaro kept his United States Championship intact by conquering former titlist The Miz.
