Cesaro Wins Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Reaction: Well, this was the best decision WWE made in quite some time with mid card talents. The battle royal was exactly how it should have been. They weeded out the jobbers and focused on the stars. Sheamus, Big Show and Cesaro were the three guys that needed to win. Cesaro needed it more than anyone. It was surprising to see him enter, especially after his split with Swagger earlier. Cesaro and Big Show were the final two guys in the ring and it came down to the pure strength of Cesaro for him to get his WrestleMania moment. He body slammed Show over the rope and picked up the win. So what is next?
Cesaro needs to clean up his split with Swagger and focus on someone more important. I could see him feuding with Sheamus or even some top notch heel. Does Zeb come with him? I think no, but would not be against Zeb being the funny "cranky uncle" gimmick that he still can do. Cesaro is a beast, a pure athlete, and one of the best young guys in the entire WWE. He deserved this win and the moment pleasantly surprised the crowd.
Score: 7/10
The Shield defeated Kane and The New Age Outlaws
Reaction: This was unexpected. The match consisted of spot after spot. The Shield cleaned up the mess that they were thrown into. Since the match lasted less than 5 minutes, it is really hard to talk about how good or bad it was. Were the spots fun to see? Yes. Have we seen them before? Yes. Does The Shield deserve something better? Absolutely. I would not mind seeing a face run, but they need to somewhat split away for single feuds. That US Title needs to be utilized and Reigns/Rollins need to figure out what they can do on their own. They can still be a team, but separate feuds are in order. As for Kane, this gimmick needs to end. The New Age Outlaws were fun, but this is a good way to write them off television.
Score: 6/10
