5 possible angles for Cesaro following WWE Payback
Cesaro is one of the best technical pro wrestlers in the world today. He has everything, he’s one of the best mat wrestlers in WWE, he has superhuman strength, he can have a good with just about anyone and he has the backstage support of some of the biggest names in WWE today, including John Cena.
Cena has come out public in the past, praising Cesaro, saying that WWE need to give him a much more prominent position on the card. The only thing that has held him back in the past is that Vince McMahon was not reportedly a big fan of him. In 2014, Vince criticized Cesaro on the Stone Cold Podcast, lambasting his promo skills, European wrestling style and he even said that he didn’t have the “it factor”.
WWE fans and Stone Cold disagreed and continue to do so. A start-stop push with the U.S. title didn’t help. Even winning the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 30 didn’t lead to a push.
Before his injury in November, Cesaro had finally started to rise back up the card after a successful tag-team run with Tyson Kidd and two incredible matches with John Cena. The timing of the injury was terrible for Cesaro, leading to him missing WrestleMania 32.
With Cesaro finally back on the Raw after WrestleMania, and challenging The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship at Payback, it looks like WWE might finally be getting behind Cesaro. In this article, I look at 5 possible angles for Cesaro in the future.
