Crowd reactions can make or break a match. As much as fans love to chant, “Cena sucks!” there is no denying that John Cena brings the goods to most of his big matches. His contest against Batista at WrestleMania 26 was no exception.

The two men came up through developmental together and became top guys at the same time, and they also happened to have crazy chemistry together in the ring. Their WWE Championship match was a great display of power wrestling and counters, and the crowd bought into the entire affair. If it wasn’t for the main event (you’ll see that one later), this would have been a great close to the show.
