Predicting WWE Survivor Series World Title Tournament

Quarterfinal Round Match: Alberto Del Rio Submits Cesaro

There are many similarities between Alberto Del Rio and Cesaro. Both are foreign superstars who made it to WWE after winning success at home. Both men are throwbacks to an old-school tough-guy style of grappling that prizes ruggedness as much as technical prowess. Oh, and both have history with Zeb Colter. Undoubtedly, the announcers will tell us of all of that when the two clash at Survivor Series. Cesaro will be the underdog, but he'll have the crowd on his side as his uses his scientific skill to combat Del Rio's shoot-style expertise. He'll weather a storm from the United States Champion and attempt the Sharpshooter, but Del Rio will hold onto the ropes to block the move, kick Cesaro away, and then nail him with an enziguri. After that, Cesaro will fall prey to the Cross Armbreaker and be forced to tap out.
