Kofi Kingston knocked out Antonio Cesaro with a Trouble in Paradise to win the United States title in the best match on Monday's WWE Raw.
Kofi opened the match on the offensive.
He chopped Cesaro to the ground. He flew at the champion. He threw out his best moves early, trying to steal a win from the Swiss powerhouse.
After Cesaro caught him with a mid-air uppercut, the champion took control.
He ground down his opponent, scraping his boot against Kofi's face and using his power advantage to punish him. Cesaro later grew overconfident as he began to toy with Kofi, pushing him around dismissively.
Kofi soon landed an S.O.S. and Cesaro only managed to survive by grabbing the bottom rope.
The pace of the match quickened from that point and both Cesaro and Kofi worked to suck the audience into their battle. They traded near falls and escaped each other's moves in a series of slick counters. The flurry to end their match was the most exciting thing the letdown episode offered.
Cesaro became punch-drunk after some of Kofi's blows.
He finally succumbed to Kofi's second Trouble in Paradise of the night, losing the match and the title he has held since SummerSlam 2012.
Despite loosing the match, Cesaro vs Kofi's match can be counted as one of the best match of 2013 in Monday Night Raw. The only thing left to see is whether Cesaro will retain his Champion Belt like Wade Barrett did or loose his rematch.
