4. Cesaro’s Revenge

It's a given that matches between Cesaro and Seth Rollins will be killer. Both men have known one another since the classic ROH days (maybe even before that), and they must be choking to get in there and tear the house down with sensational sequences, selling and storytelling.

Before that, WWE needed some sports entertainment, brother!

That's fine, because this was good. Seth tried his manipulative mind-f*ckery on his old mate by pitching that they team up. Like any good babyface, Cesaro saw through that brain washing and decided to get some revenge for Rollins' attack two weeks ago by giving him the Big Swing.

It looked awesome, Seth sold it like a pro and Cesaro came away looking like a star. That's all anyone can really ask for from one of these short TV segments. Again, if it leads to excellent in-ring action, then nobody should draft up any letters of complaint.

Maybe Seth will though. Y'know, in character.
