REVIEW
Sheamus and Cesaro had an awesome match that was exactly what you would expect from two powerhouses. It was straightforward and brutal and made both men look very tough. It seems that Cesaro is solidified as a heel as he repeatedly used tactics that a babyface would never use such as rolling out of the ring and blindsiding Sheamus in the beginning of the show. It would be interesting to see these two work a program, but it would most likely end with Sheamus coming out on top. This would totally kill Cesaro's steam that has been building since WrestleMania, so I don't know how I feel about that prospect. Anyway, Cesaro and Sheamus put on a great match and I look forward to seeing this two face off again at some point in the future.
