3-0 Sheamus
I may be in the minority here but I think WWE really pulled it out of the bag creatively when they pitted the Swiss Superman against the Great White Sheamus in a Best of 7 series. It’s a great mid-card feud – the type the WWE has been missing for some time. The fact there is a championship at the end of it all makes it all the more important too.
Despite seeing this match up 4-5 times over the past couple of months, Sheamus and Cesaro are really showing off their diversity and their ability to tell a story by keeping the matches fresh. Not once have they felt stagnant to me.
This match was no exception as Sheamus really targeted the back, following from last week’s worked injury. Cesaro came out with it taped and Sheamus took advantage, securing a very unexpected 3-0 lead over Cesaro. It will certainly be interesting to see the outcome of match no.4 on Wednesday but this was a real highlight of Raw this week.
I’d take this over The Miz vs. Apollo Crews any day.
