WWE superstar Antonio Cesaro was heavily praised backstage following his match with Daniel Bryan on last night’s WWE RAW with many feeling that while the spotlight was firmly on Daniel Bryan, Cesaro put on a “match of the year” candidate with Bryan and stole the show.

One source noted to me that Triple H was on hand to personally greet Cesaro as soon as he made his way backstage and that Cesaro was given an ovation by wrestlers who were watching on the monitors backstage.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross also took to his blog to praise Cesaro’s in-ring work noting that last night’s match was brilliant and that Cesaro may be the most underated talent on the company’s roster and noted that his match last night is the second time in recent weeks that he’s seen Cesaro put on a great match, hyping Cesaro’s 2 out of 3 Falls match against Sami Zayn on an upcoming edition of WWE NXT.
