Lordy, just let these two tangle every week for 10-15 minutes and we’d be happy fans.

OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but Ricochet and Cesaro put on a clinic Monday night, with Ricochet’s speed and Cesaro’s freakish strength once again meshing well. This time, Ricochet’s back issues that cost him last week weren’t a problem, which likely contributed to his defeating Cesaro.

Just watch the recap of the match to get an idea of what went down.

And a kudos to the announcers for actually selling the reasoning for Ricochet’s loss last week and focusing on the match itself. It actually made it feel like a real competition, with Ricochet trying to avenge his defeat.
