10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Sept 12)
9. Cesaro Brings The Series With Sheamus To 3-2
On Raw last time out, Sheamus roared into a commanding lead in the 'Best Of 7 Series' between himself and Cesaro. At 3-0, the Irishman could rightly gloat that he was on the cusp of bagging himself a future title shot by winning the entire thing. Naturally, the scene was set for the start of a big comeback.
On a special house show in London mid week, Cesaro picked up the win to make it 3-1, heralding his resurgence. It shouldn't stop come Raw. It'd be sweet to see the Swiss star claw things back even more, winning again to make it 3-2.
Right now, this is the only logical story for the series. It'll likely culminate at Clash Of Champions after becoming 3-3. In the seventh and final bout, Cesaro will then probably triumph. On Raw, he continues gaining confidence and the announcers can discuss whether or not it's actually Sheamus who is now reeling.
The 'Best Of 7' concept is a simple one, but it'll work well if Cesaro can overcome the odds to bag that WWE Universal Title opportunity.
