Batista is far more over than Cena in my opinion. Well, currently, since Cena's been inactive, but Cena's pretty damn close, usually. Batista's pops might be higher, not sure, though Cena's merch is all over the crowd.

Because HE WORE COLOGNE! Cos y'know, you need to smell good, espcially being in that pit of danger for so long.
Seriously though, I mean as dull as it is for him to be chasing the title again, it kinda makes sense in that he was about to win the Scramble match before Jericho came in and effectively stole the title at the zero hour. Plus, he destroyed JBL at No Mercy, which I guess adds credibility to his claim of being #1 contender.

Seriously. I've heard the jokes about him having some code. Seems true. I never considered the guy to be championship material to begin with, but what's he done to justify all of these title shots? The reason he has unlimited title shots: He recently upgraded...

This whole thing with Michaels/jericho, started off with Batista/Michaels.
Batista/Jericho had a match to determine who'd face HBK in a LMS match, and Batista won.
This is coming full circle, and I'd love to see HBK/Jericho/Batista in a triple threat.

Serious answer: because he's the best choice considering he was seconds away from winning the belt at Unforgiven until Jericho sneaked in the pin.
The HBK feud is either finished with or on hold for now and Punk's main beef for now is with Priceless and eventually Orton.

Do you have any idea what's inside a pit of danger?
That's how you earn it.

Because he's one of the top faces in the company, and having him chase after "his" title gets the fans into the match. Then whatever heel he's facing gains extra heat when they cheat their way to victory.
The title shots against Punk were a special case, though. What they were going for with that, I think, was to show that Punk wasn't going to back down from any challenge. The problem was: A) they didn't want Batista to take a clean loss, and B) Punk is supposed to be a face, and cheating to retain goes against his character. So they had to have some other heel run in to "rob" Batista of the title, which didn't really do Punk any favors.
