9. Spotlight For Cesaro
At first glance, it was bizarre to see six of WWE's most impressive midcard talents battling each other in a meaningless six-man tag team match on the pre-show. However, the contest itself was incredibly good fun and showcased the best of all of the performers in a chaotic opener. The most impressive thing about the match was the reaction for Cesaro, who was treated like a major star by the WWE Universe and received the lion's share of the spotlight in the ring. Cesaro was tagged into the match on two occasions. Both times, a roar from the crowd greeted his arrival and continued as he brutalised his heel opposition. When WWE recapped the match during the main show, it was Cesaro's dominance that was the focus of the package. Given that Cesaro is one of the company's most under-utilised talents, it's refreshing to see him get some time in the spotlight on a pay-per-view. Stardust has been teased as Cesaro's next opponent in recent weeks and, if the company can keep the feud on the rails, it could be pretty decent and will hopefully improve the stock of both men.
