Dark Match Winner
When was that decided that we would get a rematch of those two for WM29? Was that known before WrestleMania 28 or did it just work out that way?

The thing that makes me doubt it was always the plan is the tag line to WM28 "Once in a lifetime". Not to say that WWE wouldn't purposely mislead their fans, because well, duh.
I really believe though, that was meant to a be a one time thing, but with the hugely positive reaction to the Rock's return, and especially with it being in Miami, and the fact that his star power would reflect well on WWE, plus everyone naturally assumed Cena would go over, I think may have changed the original plans for him to do the honors. However after the tremendous financial success of 28, Vince probably smelled money if he could put the title on Rock, and get a rematch out of it, to give the rub back to Cena.

There is a reason why nobody accuses The Rock of refusing to get someone over. Its because unlike Hogan or Austin you never heard that he acctually refused to put someone over. Heck, he even put Eugene over.Call me crazy but I think Cena was originally supposed to win at WM28 and Rock ended up refusing to lose shortly before the show. That might sound crazy but I must have read thousands of posts over the years where people claim Hogan, HBK, HHH, and Cena refuse to lose and put people over. Why doesn't anyone ever accuse The Rock? He's somehow above those backstage politics? I don't think so. I remember Cena implying Rock using his stroke to change the outcome. He didn't flat out say it but he said that's a story for another day. I took that to mean eventually when it's no longer Cena's responsibility to be the WWE poster boy he'll give us the behind the scenes dirt on the situation.
I think Cena vs. Rock was originally supposed to be once in a lifetime and when Rock decided he couldn't lose he agreed to do WM29 to make it up to Cena and WWE. It's really a shame too because WM28 could have been one of the best ever had Cena won the main event. The WM28 match was awesome and WM29 was a poor follow up and is actually pretty forgettable. If my thoughts are true Rock should be ashamed of himself. Imagine Hogan (you know the guy everyone accuses of refusing to lose) decided he wanted to beat Rock at WM18 but would make it up to him at WM19. Everyone would be outraged. But ten years later when Rock, the same guy that benefited from beating Hogan, refuses to return the favor nobody says a word.
Nobody wanted that bum Cena to go over he’s not in the rocks league and never will be.. and do you really think rock was going to lose in Miami in front of his hometown?Call me crazy but I think Cena was originally supposed to win at WM28 and Rock ended up refusing to lose shortly before the show.
