Re: Raw 6/5/12: Antonio Cesaro vs. Cody Rhodes
The crowd are still taking in Cody's words when suddenly Antonio Cesaro's theme plays over the PA system.

Before too long, Antonio Cesaro walks out from behind the curtain wearing his usual ring gear and jacket. Aksana soon follows. Antonio stops dead centre of the stage and throws out his signature pose before he and his valet head down the ramp.
Antonio takes the lead in walking up the ring steps, he walks along the ring apron and wipes his feet on the apron before waiting for Aksana to sit on the rope for him so he may enter easily. Both Aksana and Cesaro stand in the ring, Aksana grabs a microphone and hands it to Antonio Cesaro who will now address the crowd and Cody Rhodes.
Antonio Cesaro: Last week, I retained my European Championship. It does not matter much how, all that matters is that this European Championship remains around my waist for the foreseeable future and that has been allowed to happen courtesy of my business partner and friend, Wade Barrett and my new Head Administrator, Aksana. Some people say that we cheat, week in and week out, it is all I hear. 'Oh, Antonio Cesaro and Wade Barrett always help each other out, that's cheating!'. Well, maybe for all of you illiterate, out of shape, out of work Americans, it may appear to be cheating. But for me and Barrett?, it's merely a way of making sure that everybody knows that we are a unit, and that we are here to win, be successful and dominate here on Tuesday Night Raw. And believe me, after Starrcade when Barrett is announced as the new, World Heavyweight Champion, and I, Mister Antonio Cesaro remain as the European Champion... and let's face it, being the champion of Europe makes me better than a champion of this stinking country which is what my opponent aims to be...
The crowd boo Cesaro, there's small chants of 'USA!, USA!', but due to the overwhelming hate for Rhodes, the chants are muffled by the constant boos that both men are met with.
Cody, your lack of ambition startles me. You really want to be the United States Champion?... you were the first ever UWF World Champion as you correctly stated, so it baffles me why you'd want to be the champion of this backwards country just to 'prove a point'. Nevertheless, the point is Cody, that none of this will matter when I face you in the ring this Tuesday night on Raw, because I wan't to prove that I'm better than you. Simple as that Cody. You say I'm lower than you?, I say blödsinn, and I will prove just as much when I hit you with the Swiss Death and gain momentum ahead of my crushing victory over Der Miz at Starrcade.
