Cesaro
Trending
Cesaro had been wrestling in several promotions around the world when he was contacted by WWE in 2011. Prior to this, he had been employed as backstage talent in a segment in 2006. For a man of his experience, the offer was inevitable and he hasn’t disappointed since. Despite a move to NXT from the main roster in 2014, the Swiss Superman had made a mile of an inch by putting up a set of incredible matches, culminating in title pushes and a win at Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Claudio Castagnoli, having conquered European promotions through tag team titles, moved to the United States in a bid to cement his singles career. Picking up a slew of victories, both as a singles competitor as well as a tag team, at Chikara, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerilla and the Ring of Honor, he had attracted enough attention from industry regulars.

One of the agilest and strongest performers to pass between WWE ropes, Cesaro had to go through numerous gimmick changes and untimely heel turns, in order to find favor with fans, but he was already over. In fact, poor booking decisions had made him face the wrong kind of heat. He mostly seems to fall short of winning a title at the last stage, despite having uppercut his way through the competition.
