...it is hard to beat the guys when you're challenging for the WWE/World Championship's because the difficulty is suddenly ramped up from easy/normal to hard/legend in a heartbeat, plus, your technical stat is probably low because you didn't need to counter much when you faced the earlier superstars.
The easiest way to beat these people is to make the match a Table match, this way, if they surprise you and hit you with a finisher, the match isn't suddenly over.
