As noted earlier, WWE officials were very pleased with Antonio Cesaro’s match against Kofi Kingston on last week’s Main Event show. Cesaro is getting most of the credit for the match’s success, which is believed to be the reason he’s getting a match against Randy Orton on this week’s Main Event.
He was booked strong on RAW, making quick work of Zack Ryder and then cutting a post-match promo that was very similar to the promo he cut after defeating Yoshi Tatsu at last week’s NXT TV tapings.
Cesaro ripping out one of Kofi Kingston’s dreadlocks fulfilled his claim that, “You took something from me, now I’m going to take something from you.” After failing to reclaim the United States Championship, it appears he’s moving on and is being repositioned as an upper-midcard act that will eventually be a World Heavyweight title contender.
