Two of SmackDown’s best wrestlers took it to the ring again as Daniel Bryan battled against Cesaro to determine who would get the chance to compete in the Money in the Ladder match early next month.

This year’s match will be different from before as the Superstars will need to climb the entire WWE Corporate Headquarters and reach the rooftop to make it close to the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Both men looked to start strong but they were interrupted by the mysterious hacker who promised to reveal more truths and secrets of the SmackDown locker room.

Bryan took the offense to Cesaro, but The Swiss Cyborg soon managed to outdo him with his strength. The match between the two men was solid, and Bryan applied the Yes Lock on Cesaro to make him tap out and progress to the MITB match.

Bryan moving on to the big match is the right decision at a time when Cesaro is stuck in mixed bookings. WWE needs to build The Swiss Cyborg further and make him a true force on SmackDown.

The two men performed well once again and the match was well-paced. Cesaro and Bryan could end up battling for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania one day and give us the match of the year without a doubt.

The appearance of the hacker between the match could signal towards a possible revelation that can break up some current teams or friends. Will he target The Artist Collection next, or will Bryan find out some hidden secrets about Drew Gulak?
