Recent reports suggested that Cesaro was close to a push on WWE SmackDown before his contract situation became unclear. In fact, it was Daniel Bryan who wanted to see the man push ahead on SmackDown and was hoping to take him to the next level.

Cesaro defeated Bryan a few weeks ago in a one-on-one match, and the two men got in the ring for another match this week. Bryan was looking to turn his fortunes around this time.

The Planet’s Champion was aggressive and vented his frustration on The Swiss Cyborg. Constant attacks opened up a wound on Cesaro’s head.

However, Cesaro battled on and looked to bag another victory over the former WWE Champion. He countered a running knee attempt and took control of the match. The Swiss Cyborg then caught Bryan with the Cesaro Swing and applied a Sharpshooter to make Bryan tap out.

This was another massive victory for Cesaro on SmackDown. It looks like Bryan wants to see the Superstar succeed and is willing to put him over. Hopefully, SmackDown will allow him to carry on this momentum and possibly reach the main event scene.
