1. Cesaro Is Back On

The fun wasn't done quite yet. Cesaro rolled out to stop a post-match kicking Roman planned to give Bryan on the way out. His superhero routine didn't quite work though, because Jey Uso cut Cesaro off and made him watch as Reigns blasted Daniel with an Edge-like 'Con-Chair-To'.

Still, Cesaro's push is back on, and that's something worth celebrating.

It looked like WWE were going to abandon the Swiss star's Universal Title challenge when he stepped aside for Bryan last week. Now, Cesaro is primed to head into WrestleMania Backlash on the back of two wins over Seth Rollins, and he'll also have revenge for DB on his mind too.

Best of all, Cesaro got to level Roman with a few stiff uppercuts before he got all tangled up in the ropes. Fans are now legit excited to see where WWE takes this story next, and that's all one can really ask for from episodic television.
