5 things WWE SmackDown got right this week: Roman Reigns finds his next challenger; Brock Lesnar’s return announced

#3. Cesaro defeated Ridge Holland to ignite a potential rivalry on WWE SmackDown

This week, Ridge Holland was geared up to make his SmackDown in-ring debut. Holland was up against Cesaro. Sheamus, Holland’s mentor, was at ringside to watch the match up close.

The Swiss Superman unloaded with a few uppercuts, but Holland matched his strength. He hit Cesaro with a massive clothesline and tossed him around.

Sheamus cheered Holland as the newcomer dominated Cesaro. A distraction allowed The Swiss Superman to capitalize, and he rolled over the debutant for a win.

Holland and Sheamus were visibly upset as Cesaro celebrated the win. WWE could have given the two men some more time to perform on SmackDown. The contest was good, and WWE made the right call to award the victory to Cesaro.

Holland had a good debut, but there was no reason for him to pick up a win. Instead, his partnership with Cesaro’s former partner could lead to an interesting storyline in the weeks to come. SmackDown could book a few matches between Cesaro and the heels before all three men unite to possibly form a new faction.
