RKO is countered by an uppercut to the back of the head, pop up uppercut follows and Cesaro covers for a CLOSE 2. Cesaro misses a corner charge, dropkick by Orton and a cover gets 2. Orton back to his feet, Cesaro on the apron and Orton sends Cesaro to the post. Orton climbs the ropes in the corner, pulls up Cesaro, looking for the superplex, but Cesaro is fighting him off and head butts Orton. Sunset flip bomb connects and follows it with the rolling uppercut. NEUTRALIZER CONNECTS! 1…2…3!
OFFICIAL RESULT: Cesaro @ 13:00 via pin
Cesaro takes a look at the WrestleMania sign and points (DRINK)!
End scene.
