WWE really set the stage for Cesaro to get his WrestleMania moment by playing up the fact that he had never had a singles Mania match in 10 years.

So naturally, he finally got his shot against the perfectly hateable Seth Rollins, and the two had a pretty entertaining match-up. Rollins did everything in his power to put Cesaro over, flipping all over the place. At one point, Seth flipped out of a Neutralizer attempt and nailed a Pedigree for a close 2-count.

Cesaro brought the heavy artillery, hitting European uppercuts and tormenting Rollins with the Swing. The Swiss Superman countered a Stomp with an uppercut, spun Rollins with a UFO, dizzied him up more with 23 revolutions via Swing, and then put him away with the Neutralizer.

While not an all-time classic, this was a perfectly enjoyable match with both men firing on all cylinders. And congrats to Cesaro on his big win.
