This triple threat match was fantastic. The action never stopped. Being THIS interested in a match before 10pm is rare and they really developed critical details in the match. I think Cesaro stood out the most and the fans are really getting behind him. It could be now or never for his main event push.
Kevin Owens defies all that you think a professional wrestler should be, while Randy Orton remains consistent and extremely professional in the ring. (even though he has flown off the handle before). Randy should have won this match. I don’t mind seeing him lose or be in the main event against Seth Rollins. There is no need for Owens to be in it and Cesaro has had great bout with Rollins before. Give it time for Cesaro and give him a real shot at the gold.
