Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro - King of the Ring: Round 1

Cesaro went after Samoa Joe with a lot of aggression just as the match began. Joe threw Cesaro out of the ring as we headed for commercials. We returned to see Joe still in control and Cesaro hit a humongous kick to the mouth of Samoa Joe, taking down the big guy in one swift motion. Joe was still in the fight as the match went outside the ring and then back inside for a top rope crossbody. Joe finally nailed a senton and a Uranagi, which lead to a two count.

Cesaro took Joe for a swing and then locked in the Sharpshooter followed by a cross-face. Joe managed to get the Coquina Clutch on Cesaro, which lead to an immediate tap out.

Result: Samoa Joe def. Cesaro and advanced in the King of the Ring tournament
