Cesaro is a "Paul Heyman Guy"
Another shocking turn of events tonight, as WWE turns Paul Heyman face… somewhat. He cuts an incredible promo for Lesnar and then aligns himself with Cesaro. This is going to be money for Cesaro. He is different than Curtis Axel from a year ago, who was unknown and was not credible. He was not established. Cesaro is established and the crowd is already behind him. He is a 5 star talent and has the best mouthpiece in the business. Cesaro will most likely be booked a heel, but the fans will attach themselves to him because of how good he is. For Swagger and Zeb Colter, I think Swagger will get a nice rub, but he has already hit his ceiling. This is going to be excellent for Cesaro, which is why I rated this segment so high.
Score: 7.5/10
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Daniel Bryan comes out and is followed by Orton and Batista. They hit their finishers on Bryan and out comes Kane. Kane gets in the ring and tells them to leave. Kane hits Bryan with a chokeslam. Triple H comes to the ring. He tells the referee to ring the bell. Triple H taunts the crowd and out comes The Shield. They surround the ring with Batista, Kane and Orton. Triple H says this is not happening. Reigns spears Triple H. The Shield unload and take out The Authority. Reigns hits a Superman Punch onto Kane. The Shield surround Triple H. Daniel Bryan hits a running knee onto Triple H and the faces stand in the ring with The Authority retreating.
Interesting end to WWE Raw. Many expected Sting to appear, which would have been a sight to see. Instead, WWE booked smart and for the long-term. They did not rely on a 55 year old guy with one match in him. They, instead, helped The Shield stand tall and booked around four young guys who are the future.
