At WrestleMania 37, Cesaro defeated Seth Rollins in a sensational singles match that could very well end up being the best bout of this year's two-day event. Competing in his first-ever singles clash at WrestleMania, Cesaro was taken to his limits by Rollins. But eventually, it was The Swiss Cyborg who reigned supreme over the former WWE Universal Champion.

As expected, the two men went back-and-forth with one another throughout the entirety of the match. Cesaro also broke his own record of 22 swings after swinging Seth Rollins a total of 23 times during the bout.

Arguably the bigger favorite in the match, Cesaro had all the support from the WWE Universe in attendance. The former WWE United States Champion eventually hit the Neutralizer on Rollins for the win.

With a historic win at WrestleMania 37, Cesaro looks forward to what's next in store for him on SmackDown. With that being said, here are five potential directions for Cesaro after his iconic victory at The Grandest Stage of Them All.


#5. A rematch between Cesaro and Seth Rollins will be set up with a stipulation

After their classic encounter at WrestleMania 37, it is only safe to say that the WWE Universe definitely wouldn't mind seeing Cesaro and Seth Rollins run it back on WWE television.

A rematch between the pair could easily be set up for the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown. The feud could soon conclude without overextending the rivalry between the two men.

On the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown, Cesaro and Seth Rollins could headline the match card in a potential two-out-of-three falls match. Such a stipulation will not only help Cesaro retain his momentum from WrestleMania but will also help Rollins to regain some of his lost momentum from WrestleMania 37.

If WWE doesn't decide to give away a match of such high caliber on weekly television, they could save it for a later date at a pay-per-view — perhaps at Money in the Bank. However, Cesaro might have different plans for that event.

#4. Cesaro enters the Money in the Bank ladder match

Following WrestleMania 37, Cesaro could announce his addition to the traditional WWE Money in the Bank Ladder match.

In the aftermath of WrestleMania, WWE will shift their focus to the next pay-per-view — Money in the Bank. Much like every other year, this year's MITB event is expected to have a stacked line-up, and Cesaro certainly will be a solid addition to the ladder match.

Following his big win at WrestleMania 37, Cesaro deserves a significant opportunity or a crack at either of the WWE World Championships. To further build up Cesaro's ongoing underdog story, WWE could have him join the Money in the Bank ladder match field and then scratch his way to the top of the mountain.

Cesaro is yet to hold the prestigious Money in the Bank briefcase, but with a win over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37, the former should be oozing with confidence. As a result, The Swiss Superman could shift his focus towards winning his first MITB briefcase.

#3. Cesaro challenges the winner of the WWE Intercontinental Championship match

Much to the surprise of many fans, Cesaro has won just one singles championship throughout his WWE career so far. The Swiss Superman has only had the opportunity to hold the United States Championship and is yet to win any other singles title.

While fans have been pleading for Cesaro's world championship run for years now, the perfect way to hype up the former U.S. Champion would be to have him challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

The Intercontinental Championship often represents the workhorse of the company and who better than Cesaro to fill in for such a role in WWE?

On Night Two of WrestleMania 37, Big E will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews in a Nigerian Drum Fight.

There is a chance for Apollo to become the new titleholder. If that turns out to be the case, the scenario sets itself up perfectly with a feud between the heel Apollo and the babyface Cesaro for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

#2. Murphy sets up a reunion with Seth Rollins by challenging Cesaro

The feud between Cesaro and Seth Rollins could be extended to a limit, but one potential direction for the feud would be to throw Murphy into the mix.

In recent weeks, Murphy's attempts to reunite himself with Rollins have failed. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion could regain Rollins' trust by acting as his henchman and by dismantling Cesaro for The Messiah.

In doing so, WWE could execute a filler feud between Cesaro and Murphy which is guaranteed to result in some phenomenal matches between the two. Since his split with Rollins in the first place, Murphy hasn't had much success in WWE. After all, his storyline with the Mysterio family was shelved on SmackDown. But Murphy's redemption story could be initiated after WrestleMania, courtesy of a feud with Cesaro.

This would result in some much-needed television time for Murphy and the former RAW Tag Team Champion could eventually reunite with Seth Rollins once again.

#1. Cesaro enters the Universal Championship picture

For years, the WWE Universe has pleaded for a major title run when it comes to Cesaro. Cesaro's WrestleMania 37 performance could finally lead to his big break in WWE.

Despite being in his 40s, The Swiss Superman could very well still be the best in-ring performer in the company. At WrestleMania 37, Cesaro once again proved the same in his instant classic against Seth Rollins.

Regardless of his age, Cesaro's first-ever singles match and win at The Grandest Stage of Them All should lead him to enter the Universal Championship picture.

On Night Two of WrestleMania 37, the reigning champion Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan and Edge.

Cesaro could challenge the winner of the three-way contest in the near future.

Given that WWE fans have wanted to see Cesaro embark on a world championship run, this could finally be The Swiss Cyborg's moment, and WWE has perfectly set themselves up for the same.
