5 WWE Superstars who weren't 'Vince's guys' but got pushed anyway

Cesaro

Cesaro became a surprise fan favorite in 2015 before an injury derailed his push.

Cesaro definitely doesn’t lack in size at 6-foot-5 and more than 230 pounds, and he’s certainly strong. On top of that, he’s one of the most gifted in-ring performers in the WWE. Stil, his perceived lack of charisma led Vince McMahon to believe that Cesaro would have trouble connecting with fans.

That was proven to be false in 2015.

After tag-team partner Tyson Kidd went down with a bad neck injury, Cesaro became a skyrocket of popularity, even earning a growing “Cesaro Section” at each WWE event for a few months.

That was cut short by an injury, but he seems destined for a bigger push down the line.
