6 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown (Sept 3)

3. Sheamus Used Intelligence To Beat Cesaro

Any time Sheamus wrestles Cesaro it's a great match. They have awesome chemistry because they're both power wrestlers that have a lot of moves that look believable, which allows them to work in a style that is easy to buy into. When they throw a punch or forearm it just looks better than their peers. Cesaro had his ribs taped due to landing on the announce table hard during his Raw match with Kevin Owens, so it was nice to see him selling the injury here. Often times guys will sell an injury on one show and then completely ignore it the next time. Since Cesaro's a traditional wrestler that is great at selling, the beating he took from Sheamus was something that made it easy for people to support Cesaro. This match was one of the better ten minute matches you're going to see because they made the most of their time. Sheamus dominated much of it, but Cesaro came back and it looked like he might win. In the end, Sheamus nailed the Brogue Kick to win clean after the ref told Cesaro to get out of the corner. Smart booking is so refreshing to see. Earlier I complained about Cesaro's booking because he's losing too much. That's still bothers me, but the positive to this is Sheamus has been booked stronger in the last month, which is smart considering he's the Money in the Bank holder.
