I liked both the King of the Ring matches this week. Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro, in particular, was the best match of the night, at least according to me.

The two men would kick things off right from the opening bell, as both displayed their incredible strength before the gathered audience. It was a really hard-hitting match, and the crowd was into it despite the fact that it was a heel vs. heel affair.

Cedric Alexander and Sami Zayn would go on to have a very good match as well, and it's obvious that this is a tournament to showcase 'the workers' of WWE. Sadly, Sami Zayn's story at this edition of King of the Ring came to a close, but for what it is, it was a great showing.

I hope that SmackDown Live continues the craziness of the King of the Ring tomorrow night as well.
