WWE SmackDown 31st January, 2014: 5 Talking Points

2. Antonio Cesaro gets a long awaited push

CM Punk was going to be an entrant in the Elimination Chamber match, but because (apparently) he left the WWE, they had to replace him with someone talented enough to pose a serious threat to the other five guys. So, a Elimination Chamber qualifier between WWE’s two most-talented superstars, Dolph Ziggler and Antonio Cesaro, was set up and the two delivered a great match.

After Ziggler’s return and win on Raw this past week, fans were thinking that WWE would continue Ziggler’s momentum by giving him a spot in the Elimination Chamber match. But much to everyone’s surprise, Cesaro (deservingly) won the match to earn the fifth spot in the Elimination Chamber match. Despite Ziggler losing, it was good to see Cesaro win the match, who is equally talented and has delivered several great matches last year. It looks like Cesaro is finally getting the push he deserves.
