#5 Cesaro
It has been a bit of a mystery as to why the WWE doesn’t use Cesaro more often.
He is a great worker and his matches are always exciting to watch. Cesaro gathered a lot of steam during his US title match with Cena and his subsequent clashes with Rusev and Kevin Owens, but he has been left in the wilderness yet again.
The WWE Universe would be genuinely happy to see Cesaro finally get his due by winning a championship again and a victory over Cena would at least elevate him to the same level as Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose.
While he might not be the best on the microphone, he isn’t exactly as hopeless as Psycho Sid either. A title at this stage of his career would give him a much-needed confidence boost and we might see the birth of the next main eventer. Leave him as he is and it doesn’t seem to be long before he follows other talented wrestlers like Carlito and John Morrison out of the WWE.
