#4 Cesaro

Pound-for-pound the strongest Superstar in WWE roster, Cesaro is known for his incredible strength in the ring and second-to-none wrestling skills. Considered by many to be one of the most underrated WWE Superstars, Cesaro has been a huge fan-favorite, even if he plays a heel on WWE programming.

The Swiss Cyborg follows a pretty intense pre-match ritual, as disclosed by him :

“When I get ready for any match, I need to be focused — and I need to get in my zone. Aksana was usually whispering sweet encouragements in my ear, but to be honest, that kept me from being completely focused on the tasks at hand. So that’s why, in the end, I decided to get rid of her. Normal people do push-ups, but I like to do push-ups with extra weight because that’s not normal. I also perform a variety of them: Hindu push-ups, reverse push-ups, dive-bomber push-ups and handstand push-ups, and most body-weight exercises in general. They’re old-school, and they make your body stronger and more functional. I’m always very excited because I love to compete. You should always feel a little nervous each night — or you shouldn’t be doing this.”

Cesaro signed with WWE in 2011. During his nine-year-long WWE career, he has won the United States Championship once, won the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX, and has had seven reigns as the Tag Team Champion, mostly alongside Sheamus as The Bar.
