You don't need guys to confront each other very often to build a feud. Do you realize how rare it was to see two guys in the main event of a WrestleMania confront each other back in the day? And it's not like early WrestleMania main events lacked intensity. I'd say they actually had more build because of it. I don't think anyone was going into Hogan-Andre saying "They BARELY interacted on TV! What a shitty build!"

I agree it would have been better if Cena had a shittier year but it's not like the guy was rolling character-wise. He definitely had his ups and downs and failed to win the title even with the MITB contract. The same title Rock came back and won in his first match in 10 months. And considering how huge the match was last year, I think the redemption story works fine.
