SURVIVOR SERIES 2011
For the most part they gave the crowd what they came for. Rock was actually somewhat limited in what he did as Cena did almost all of the selling and Rock didn't take many bumps. What he did do looked good and worked in the context of the match. There wasn't really a big storyline development. Nothing was forwarded in the match itself other than a continuation of the tension between them with a few potential minor misunderstandings. Miz and Truth were so not treated or perceived as threats, that the win itself didn't really get the pop it could have had WWE built Truth and Miz as stronger heels...
This was all before The People's Champion drilled his WrestleMania XXVIII opponent into the canvas with a thunderous Rock Bottom much to the delight of the Madison Square Garden faithful, forcing Cena to beat an hasty retreat his tail between his legs. His team may have won the match, but Cena definitely left Manhattan feeling like a loser.
