Result: Roman makes Cesaro pass out to the Guillotine to retain the strap (27:35).

Rating: Not a single living soul on Earth was expecting a Cesaro win here, as thoroughly deserved as it would've been, but they sure as hell tried to make us believe it anyway.

The wish fulfilment aspect of seeing Cesaro headlining a PPV was strong, and he held his own well against Roman no matter the outcome. It was also refreshing to see a clean win for Roman, as the idea that heels always need to win dirty is lazy and boring - bad guys can be talented athletes too!

Hopefully this made Vince realise just how valuable Cesaro could be as a main event competitor, rather than simply being a tool to help elevate the champ who, admittedly, has been on one hell of a run regardless. 8/10
