I don’t know why we all seem to occasionally forget that Cesaro is amazing. He has been one of the best all-round performers in WWE for many years. Cesaro showing up to have any match in Cardiff was a really good idea. Using him to help put over a newer talent like Ilja Dragunov on Saturday night was an even better idea.

The match was a fast-paced and hard-hitting 13-minute encounter. The crowd loved seeing and counting to forty as Cesaro did his wonderful swing again. I hope he can beat a hundred swings in the near future. Ilja Dragunov looks like a real rising star as he kicked out of a lot of Cesaro’s brutal offensive maneuvers during the match.

But seeing Cesaro, who hasn’t had a lot of success on the main roster recently, winning a major match and looking like a star was a wonderful surprise in Cardiff. Hopefully, we will see more of Cesaro in the NXT UK brand. Who doesn’t want to see Walter versus Cesaro? Take my money now.
