I think it was the right move to do the match. They seem to do the rematch the next night after the PPV on Raw a lot of times. The loser of the belt the night before never gets in back though. I remember they did Austin/Rock rematch right after Survivor Series where Taker came in a nailed Austin with the shovel. The crowd was really into that match and was going crazy when Austin almost had it one. That's the one that comes to mind right now.
But the finish was kind of weak with Evolution helping Orton win. I understand they had to do that to set up the beatdown, but Orton just beat Benoit cleanly the night before, it kind of made him look weak that he needed 3 guys to beat Benoit again.
It was a good match though and I actually thought Benoit might of had it won when he hooked the crossface in the middle of the ring. It was the right way to go.
