Ricochet continues to redefine aerial combat as he takes flight against The Swiss Superman.

It’s been a while since Cesaro was a regular singles competitor on Raw, so it’s tempting to regard his recent run as something of a reminder of what made him such a special Superstar in the first place. The man simply does not have bad matches. He had the added benefit of a victorious performance this week, though his opponent, Ricochet, was nowhere near 100 percent after taking a painful trip through a ladder at WWE Money in the Bank last night.

That was perhaps what Cesaro had in mind when he more or less goaded the former NXT North American Champion into a bout during a confrontation in the trainer’s room. Ricochet battled through his taped-up back on pure adrenaline, but his desire to beat Cesaro with his speed instead found him flying headlong into a vicious European uppercut. The Swiss Superman followed up with a gorilla press backbreaker and Neutralizer for the victory. Attach an asterisk if you must; it won’t change the outcome.
