Sheamus vs Cesaro
Result: Sheamus defeats Cesaro via pinfall.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Cesaro is out with his ribs taped to sell the injury from Monday night against Kevin Owens. Sheamus gets a mic to address the “You Look Stupid” chants and tells the fans that they look stupid instead. Back into the ring and Sheamus focuses his strikes to the ribs of Cesaro. Cesaro gets a headlock in on Sheamus and messes up his mohawk. Sheamus tosses Cesaro into the pole and to the outside as we go to commercial.
Back from the commercial break and Cesaro’s ribs are being targeted by the Money in the Bank winner Sheamus. Sheamus delivers a series of uppercuts to Cesaro but the Swiss Superman returns the favor with a flurry of his own. Sheamus is sitting on the top turnbuckle when Cesaro catches him with a massive dropkick that sends Sheamus to the outside. Cesaro hits a running uppercut that just about knocks Sheamus over the barricade.
Sheamus manages to get control of the match and hits a huge knee to the ribs. Sheamus gets a big back-breaker and sets up the Cloverleaf, but Cesaro reverses it into a small package for a two count. Cesaro starts to get control and has a crossface locked in as well as nailing a two footed stomp. He is working over Sheamus in the corner when the ref goes to back him off. As Cesaro backs off, Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick for the victory.
Evan’s Note: The internet wrestling community will not be happy with Cesaro eating yet another loss. There is so much fan support behind him though that I’m sure he will end up in a solid angle soon enough. Sheamus is getting a strong build still. Could this lead to a cash in at Night of Champions?
