Cesaro Vs Orton

[Racing Guy]

Spoiler if you haven't seen or read Smackdown results yet...................................















Anyone catch this match? Pretty cool that Cesaro got a clean win over Orton.

Not sure why they are booking their champion to lose all of these matches clean, especially because I don't want Orton walking out of the Chamber still holding it.

With that being said, that was an incredible moment and a classic finish to a tight little match. To echo Cole, that truly was a career defining win for Cesaro. I for one can't wait until it's Bryan vs Cesaro for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at some point down the line. The two best wrestlers in the WWE.

I think last night pretty much sealed the deal that Orton will be retaining the title at EC. There's just no way to reasonably explain him losing to three of the EC contestants, unless it's leading to him coming out looking stronger for it after the PPV.

WWE's booking logic is pathetic. I can understand this if Orton loses at EC... but if he doesn't? Just horrific. It's illogical.

I will say though that uppercut by Cesaro was damn amazing.

They did it on Smackdown so nobody would see it.

[Hanley!]

Yeah, it's a pity it had to happen during what is clearly a "Orton isn't on top of his game" story, so that it doesn't mean as much. It's still good for Cesaro though. A big win for sure.

It probably does mean a swerve where Orton still does win the chamber match unfortunately. Although that notion is seeming more and more ludicrous. They even seem to be acknowledging on the show each week that people don't want to see Orton versus Batista, given all the Authority's doubt over Orton and Batista's relatively small impact on the show despite being the Wrestlemania headliner. So if they're building up to a swerve where the dull match happens anyway, it would be pretty insane.

That being said, I think most sensible people wrote off Wrestlemania 30 a while ago anyway. There's probably no saving it now.

[Ace]

Yeah seriously. We all know that the WWE unfortunately wouldn't normally give someone like Cesaro a clean win over someone like Orton. Orton is going to look defeated going into the Chamber but the WWE will give him the win.

[prophet]

Yeah it's looking like they're trying to make Orton look weaker so it seems that when he inevitably wins at Elimination Chamber we'll be surprised. Great for Cesaro though.
