5 best moments of Cesaro's WWE career

#2: Cesaro challenges for the Universal Title in the main event of WrestleMania Backlash 2021

Cesaro received a big singles push during the first half of 2021 which saw him face the likes of Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins. After winning his first WrestleMania singles match at WrestleMania 37, the Cyborg entered a rivalry with Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Few expected the challenger to win, but this felt like the start of an extended main event run and perhaps an eventual world title win. The King of Swing was presented very strongly, making him feel like he was on the same level as the top guy in the business. This month-long feud was probably the closest he came to fulfilling his world champion potential in the company.
