7. Sheamus Vs. Cesaro

Result: Sheamus pokes Cesaro in the eye and nails him with the Brogue Kick (14:10).

Rating: This was as physical and intense as you'd hope for from bell to bell. Sure, the pacing was slow, but the two played off one another well (hence why this is a Best-of-7 Series in the first place), and both got a few memorable marquee moments in.

Sheamus winning was disappointing given how much the audience was into Cesaro during the final sequence, especially considering the totally lame dirty finish. For a match given so much time, a chickens*** heel ending didn't quite hit the spot, but at least they've got six more chances to make amends.
