Can we please get a rematch on PPV between Rey Mysterio and Cesaro for a title at some point in the near future?

The two had a hastily thrown-together match, with the Swiss Cyborg insulting Rey’s son in the locker room, but it really clicked, as Mysterio’s speedy offense clicked well with Cesaro’s power moves. Rey countered a Cesaro Swing into a DDT, while Cesaro turned a 619 into a Swing. The action was constant and reminded you just how good both men are, drawing applause throughout.

In the end, the guy with a PPV match for the United States Championship – Mysterio – got the win, but it was good to see WWE remember that Cesaro is a solid threat capable of putting on a really good match anytime.
