Match 1. Tyson Kidd vs. Cesaro - NXT United States Championship
Will this feud ever die? I wouldn't mind if it never did. Kidd focused on Cesaro's neck. He landed a flipping neck breaker and a huge moonsault. Cesaro countered with a diving clothesline and back suplex. He then tossed Kidd up and hit the uppercut, but got another near fall. Cesaro suplexed Kidd from the apron. What strength! Kidd landed a super back suplex. Cesaro hit another uppercut and won his title back.
Another great match between these two. I could watch them every week.
