Cena/HBK did not deserve to main-event. Batista and 'Taker got the best reactions of the night

The most crowd heat was for the Cena/Michaels match. The reason Batista/Taker came off so good was because it was perfectly positioned (not the only reason, but bear with me here) - if they had to go on after that Cena/Michaels match and after Austin, they'd have a harder time getting the fans into it than they ended up having by putting it earlier. Taker/Batista had way less steam as a feud going in and Batista hardly has a great career record of having awesome PPV matches. They made the right move, and it worked out perfectly. Cena/Michaels was right to close.
