World or WWE Title matches, if you have both being defended, have a joint main event with them being the last two matches.

In my opinion the whole point of Wrestling is supposed to be that you want to be the man, the champ, the main event.

Well having championship matches go on before having non title main events is contradictary to all that

They have devalued the titles too much.

Yes, at least the WWE Championship should. I don't agree with the world heavyweight championship going on first though. It should be like it used to be. WHC going on 3rd to last, then a divas match or something that nobody cares about so everyone can recover, and then the WWE Championship going on last. The only cases where it should be acceptable to not do this would be a Undertaker streak match (and they don't even do this), or a once in a lifetime match (like Rock vs Cena).

The problem is in my opinion, that even if they want Cena to win the title again, well it's not going to mean anything, because he's always the main event anyway and has become bigger than the title.

It's not going to be a big deal AT ALL when he wins it again because they have devalued the title.

The matches that should Main Event a PPV should be the match that...
1) Has the stronger Storyline
2) Has been the focal point of the show and has had a ton of build up.

When a match meets those requirements than it should have the right away to go on last, whether its a World Title Match or a non title match. John Cena vs The Rock(WM28) and Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker(WM26) deserved to go on last due to the storyline that it had and the major circumstance that each match had hovering over it.

No, but most of the time. Royal Rumble (as always), WrestleMania & Extreme Rules are the PPVs this year where they shouldn't have main evented. And that was only because they were huge matches.

Not always but it should main event over matches like, Cena vs Kane, Cena vs BIg show and Money in the Bank matches, Cena vs Brock and Cena vs Rock are the only two matches that should have gone over Punks title matches. its funny really that Punk never main events, he wont even main event Sumerslam when he faces Cena. HHH vs Brock will be the main event there.

Most of the time yes. But if there's a great fued going and it gets very "personal" storyline wise, I think that should be the ending match.

WWE Championship matches and World Heavyweight Championship matches should always be the main event, unless there are special circumstances. They should do what they used to do, which is alternate which belt gets to main event, based on the stakes, stipulations, or star power of the performers in the match. Now it's just WHC comes before the WWE Championship. Always. Which I don't have a problem with because the WWE title IS the bigger world title of the two, so if they feel like one HAS to go over the other all the time, they're making the right choice as to which one it is. However I would alternate, it's not the way I would book.

There are special exceptions that can be made. The Rock vs John Cena main eventing is the right decision. Brock Lesnar vs John Cena main eventing is the right decision. Shawn Michaels' retirement match is the right decision. I don't have a problem with the Streak ever going last, at least not at this point. If they make a HUGE signing for WrestleMania, like Sting, that should go on last, by all means. If Stone Cold returns to wrestle, yes, you book that last. You put the Royal Rumble on last, it's tradition.

Beyond things like that, you put the title on last, dammit. John Cena vs John Laurinaitis and a MITB ladder match are NOT PPV main event worthy. Comedy fuckery, and a #1 contenders match overshadowing the title the #1 contenders match is FOR is complete nonsense (The Rumble is exempt, it's a special match). They can still promote John Cena as the #1 guy in the company, and he'll get the biggest attention going into the PPV, but there's no harm done to him by not putting him on last. The title is an accomplishment, most John Cena matches are not for anything specific, beyond a ridiculous firing angle that no one cares about, or they're #1 contender matches to the title it's being put ahead of, which is unacceptable and only hurts the title, whereas it wouldn't hurt Cena's standing to be where the title is.

Unless there is a storyline with a bigger scenario then yes it should main event. I can understand Royal Rumble, Cena/Rock and Cena/Lesnar main eventing. Every other match should have had the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship as the main event. That's something I haven't seen in a while actually, the WHC main eventing.

Championship matches should always main event, except for special circumstances.

I think it's wrong for Cena to main event all the time when he doesn't hold a championship. Cena is the top DRAW, meaning he puts the most asses in seats. It doesn't necessarily mean he has to close a PPV or even RAW all the time.

For the MiTB PPV, however, I think the Ladder match should have gone on last, whether Cena was in it or not. The PPV was called Money in the Bank, a Money in the Bank ladder match was right to main event that particular PPV. If the Title match went on last, people will not care about the match, they'll just sit on their hands waiting for it to end so they can see if the cash in happens or not.
