Bo Dallas vignette
More inspirational footage of people playing sports and taking risks, because they “BO-lieve” in themselves. This character is excellent and I’m glad they’re set to go even bigger with it when they bring him to the main roster.
Hulk Hogan, Cesaro, Zeb Colter and Paul Heyman promo/Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Trophy is in the ring, and Hogan is on his way there. Hogan talks about the battle royal and a “Cesaro” chant starts. Hogan introduces the 31st man in what was supposed to be a 30 man battle royal. The crowd then began Cesaro-ing that would be doing Cesaro’s double-arm motion and singing The Real Americans’ theme song. Cesaro has a huge smile on his face as he leans against the trophy, but Zeb starts to speak about how disappointed he is in Cesaro for attacking Swagger. Zeb says he thought Cesaro was a “Zeb Colter Guy”, but Cesaro takes the mic and reveals he is a “Paul Heyman Guy”. Heyman announces Cesaro as the “King of Swing”, before he goes to talk to the announce team about how they should discuss his new client. Swagger comes out and attacks Swagger, before destroying the trophy. Cesaro then runs in and attacks Swagger before a commercial.
After the commercial, a match has already started, and the announce team says that Brad Maddox made the match during the commercial. Cesaro is about to go for the Cesaro Swing, but Swagger escapes and gets himself counted out. The crowd Cesaro’d for parts of the match. This was an amazing, shocking segment. This feud has the potential to be an incredible storyline.
