That's the wrong way of thinking about it though. People need to be excited about the main event first and foremost. They need that extra injection of energy, because they will be fading at that point. You don't want fans losing interest in the show half way through. That's why the best should be saved for last - to give fans something to look forward too and keep them invested.
I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the main event being a
short match in the right situation. But they've blown their load on that already in this feud. We've already seen the spectacular short match between Goldberg and Lesnar. Fans openly don't want that now. They want to see these guys throw down. And if fans are worried that this isn't what they're going to get, then maybe it's better that something else be given the main event spot.
Then again though, it's not like the fans know what the main event is anyway. And to me, that's a bit of a problem. But almost a necessary one given the situation we're in with the brand split.
