10 Greatest WWE Championship Matches In WrestleMania History

4. John Cena Vs. Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania 23)

Already deep into his second year as a divisive headliner, Cena had at least demonstrated the ability to deliver exceptional performances in big matches. Even if fans were inclined to hate his technicolor pep, they could at least appreciate his performances once they passed a higher threshold of quality. A WrestleMania match with showstealer Michaels would be a slam dunk. The best babyface-vs-babyface matches see the combatants rise beneath sportsmanship, to turn a phrase. Michaels piledriving Cena on the ring steps and splitting the back of his head open is a moment that doesn't get enough love. Carried or not, it's easily one of Cena's five best matches ever, and yet it still couldn't turn around the fans' revulsion.
