Cesaro vs Sheamus (Match Seven of Best of Seven Series, 3-3)
Trending
Grade: 8/10
This was probably the best in-ring performance of the night, with Cesaro and Sheamus putting on a wrestling clinic that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. The drama and high stakes presented made this an easy bout to engage with, but once again WWE shot themselves in the foot by booking a disappointing finish. The whole match was built on the drama of seeing who would come out on top, but the finish was ruined by a dumb ending rather than an emphatic climax to the long, brutal Series.
Rather than seeing one man gain a huge wave of momentum (most likely Cesaro), we will have to witness yet another bout between these two despite Clash of Champions being the perfect place to crown a winner. This was a huge example of WWE’s unsatisfying booking, which always leaves nobody with momentum. What could have been an incredible contest with a fitting climax ended up being a great match hindered by a poor finish.
