The United States Champion’s woes against Ryback continued this week, as Antonio Cesaro went up against the mighty Royal Rumble Match runner-up and found himself turned to mincemeat by the powerhouse despite a stout, well-scouted performance in the ring. Ryback has dominated Cesaro on numerous occasions on WWE Main Event, but Cesaro didn’t seem interested in being similarly defeated in their non-title match on Raw and drew on his numerous experiences with Ryback to keep the contest at an even level. The Swiss Superman took the fight right to Ryback, hammering the body of the beast with European uppercuts in an attempt to stop Ryback from gaining steam. The strategy seemed to pay dividends for the first half of the match; Cesaro was ready for each of Ryback’s attacks and kept his head level as he cut the monster off mid-strike.

Ryback would not be held down forever, though, and slowly muscled his way back into the contest with a sequence of bone-shattering power strikes. Cesaro regained his bearings long enough to attempt a victory via count-out, but Ryback made it back at the count of nine and mounted a monstrous second wind, plastering Cesaro with a pair of Meathook Clotheslines and snatching him up for Shell Shocked, feasting once more on the mighty champion in victory.
