Cena/Michaels was ALMOST perfect

The match between John Cena and Shawn Michaels in Detroit was pretty spectacular. It was the upcoming star against the old veteran, and it played out really well. Cena got the victory in what was a classic, with the two going on to have an even better match in London a few weeks later. Unfortunately, it feels as if there was one thing holding it back from being perfect.

Cena winning. The story of HBK catching Cena off guard and handing him his first ‘Mania loss would've been spectacular. By this point, the Doctor of Thuganomics was 3-0 at the show of shows, and being humbled by Michaels could have started off a brilliant storyline.

It would've been similar to the WM28 scenario with The Rock, and fans may have started to get more on board with the now 16-time champ. Onto a multi-man match that certainly ruffled a few feathers.
