@FindElden @ClaudioCSRO Maybe we'll get the ̶C̶e̶s̶a̶r̶o̶ ̶v̶s̶ ̶A̶l̶e̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ Claudio vs Malakai match we deserved all along (though their WWE match was pretty damn stellar).
During his final run in WWE, the 41-year-old unsuccessfully challenged for Roman Reigns' Universal Championship.
At the same time, he also engaged in a feud against Reigns' former Shield stablemate Seth Rollins. The two men even crossed paths on a few occasions before Cesaro's WWE exit.
AEW's newest recruit was defeated by Happy Corbin in his final televised match in WWE, before quietly leaving the company in February.
