If viewers weren’t impressed by Cesaro’s performance against Daniel Bryan on WWE SmackDown last week, The Swiss Cyborg decided to prove his worth in the ring once again. After Shinsuke Nakamura got his time to shine on SmackDown a couple of weeks ago, it seems like WWE is looking to build Cesaro as an individual star too.

Bryan came out this week to talk about the Royal Rumble event and how he had never won the Rumble match in his career. Cesaro came out next to rub in how he defeated Bryan on last week’s SmackDown.

The Swiss Cyborg then issued an open challenge that was answered by Dolph Ziggler. The two men had a great match where they showed that they are indeed some of the best wrestlers in the industry.

Cesaro used his strength to stay on top for most of the contest and delivered some lethal uppercuts followed by the Cesaro Swing. He finally caught The Show Off and hit the Neutralizer to pick up the victory.

This was by far the best match of the night, and possibly the entire week. Both men showed how incredible they are in the ring. Ziggler and Cesaro deserve individual runs with the top title in WWE before they call it a day.
