10 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 2nd)

3. WWE Is Trolling Fans, Right?

Cesaro did something Monday night that he hadn€™t done in nearly a month €“ win a televised singles match. In fact, it was only his third televised victory since October 1st. He€™s lost six matches in that time. Why is that significant in any way? Listen to how the announcers rave about Cesaro and point to the €œCesaro Section€ signs (and the cameras zoom in on the hundreds of fans sporting them). Monday, the trend continued as the announcers gushed about Cesaro€™s freakish strength and conditioning and how popular he is with the fans. Sure he defeated Miz Monday night, but does anyone think that this will translate into something for him?It€™s tough being negative about this, because it was an enjoyable little match, but in the greater context, you can€™t help but feel like WWE is trolling us, giving fans false hope that Cesaro€™s popularity and talent will lead to an actual push. Until proven wrong, this cloud sadly will hang over the Swiss Superman. That doesn€™t mean we can€™t enjoy his performances in the interim, however.
