Correct, but the better example would be the one Anybody Thrilla gave. At the end of the day, this is all a TV show. SummerSlam is the mid season point and 'Mainia is the season finale. You have to wrap up multiple plotlines at these events or no one watches en mass to give the big ratings boost (or in this case, PPV buys) you want.

For the same reasons that you cannot have a TV show that only has one character or plot to follow per episode, you cannot expect people to buy a PPV based on one match.
