Beastie Boy making John Cena his Straight Up Bitch at Summerslam 2014. Screw this match. I’m so sick of seeing people praise it like Cena had it coming. “Yay, it’s revenge for him winning all the time!” Yeah, then he thankfully had a rebound against Brock at Night Of Champions. You know what? I’ll nominate Cena beating the crap out of the Wyatts later. I loved that shit.

Hogan in the classic era.
And I don’t think I ever didn’t enjoy Stone Cold destroying a ring full of people all by himself.

People here still hate on the Bayley run occasionally but when the alternatives are Lacey Evans and Tamina, I say keep that title on her as long as possible! I thought she and Sasha were pretty entertaining during that run.

Beastie Boy making John Cena his Straight Up Bitch at Summerslam 2014. This match should have come with a disclaimer: warning, some fans may feel the need to light a post-coital cigarette after this match.

I just can’t say no to Stone Cold opening a can of whoop-ass on everyone.

Brock beating Cena with suplex city was fun at the time. It was one of those things that indicated a changing of the guard.
That, however, didn't mean I wanted to see them run that match like 40 more times with guys it made less sense with.

I mean ... shouldn't main eventers look dominant?
That's the point right?

Beastie Boy making John Cena his Straight Up Bitch at Summerslam 2014. Screw this match. I’m so sick of seeing people praise it like Cena had it coming. “Yay, it’s revenge for him winning all the time!” Yeah, then he thankfully had a rebound against Brock at Night Of Champions. You know what? I’ll nominate Cena beating the crap out of the Wyatts later. I loved that shit. Found time to watch both Cena/Lesnar matches from 2014 back to back, and both are great.
The reason you stated wasn't the reason why I liked the match. Well not the only one. Cena, by his own admission, was the New York Yankees and people love it when they get hammered, that's the way it is.
I liked it because Beastie Boy learned from his loss in 2012 to Cena, and almost everything he did in that match, the gameplan, to the match stip, to keeping the action inside the ring at all times, was to make sure he left Champion. Dude suplexed Cena to make sure the AA and the STF wasn't as effective, and staying focused on John at all times. The one time Beastie Boy took his eye off the ball, it almost cost Brock the match, but the damage from all those suplexes had been done and Brock was able to pick up the win. The selling by John was great too, especially after his rally and Brock kicked out of the AA.
The Night of Champions match is just as good as the one at Summerslam, with the story of Beastie Boy changing up his gameplan because Cena wasn't going to go down again like he did at Summerslam and Brock wasn't going to dominate John like he did the first two matches. Brock still got most of the offense, but it's Brock, in 99.9 percent of his matches Beastie Boy should get most of the offense. The match also led to a classic at the Royal Rumble the following year.
The Wyatt/Cena match at Extreme Rules was just awful and made no sense story wise - both dudes try to leave the cage within seconds when the build was all about both men wanting to destroy each other in a cage and had a truly idiotic finish, and the match just after Summerslam was John Cena doing a pretty awful Lesnar impression and actually legit hurting Bray.
For the record, I think the Bray Wyatt character wasn't all that good and I much preferred The Fiend, and Brodie Lee and Erick Rowan had more to offer than just being goons.
