Gabriel caught Cesaro with a DDT for a two count. Gabriel went for the 450 but Cesaro moved and Gabriel hit the mat almost on the top of his head while rolling through. He was run into the corner but caught Cesaro with an inverted DDT for a two count.
Cesaro rolled to the floor. Gabriel kicked him away and went for a dive over the top but was caught with an uppercut as he came down. Cesaro dumped him back into the ring and nailed the Neutralizer for the pinfall.
Your winner and still United States champion, Antonio Cesaro!
Solid match. Nothing wrong here at all with the storytelling in the ring.
Ryback video.
Backstage, Paul Heyman was thanking Vickie Guerrero for Hell in A Cell was canceled. Guerrero cut him off and said that the match was on and if they had a problem with that, they knew where to go. Heyman was pissed but walked off.

OK match with some decent back and forth wrestling.
WWE staff were checking on Cara after the match while he was out on the floor. He still rolled into the ring and celebrated after. I am guessing he is going to be checked for a concussion over the next few days.
