At WrestleMania 37, Cesaro picked up the biggest win of his career when he defeated SmackDown's Seth Rollins. This week, the stakes were raised for the rematch, as a win for Cesaro would make him the No.1 Contender for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania Backlash.

The Swiss Cyborg won a hard-fought battle against Seth Rollins with a little help from The Usos. While it was a superkick from Jimmy that ultimately won him the match, he looked great throughout SmackDown.

When Jimmy Uso walked away from his brother and cousin during the main event, Cesaro returned to take out Roman Reigns and Jey Uso before eventually attacking Jimmy as well.

This was the perfect way to build up a babyface title challenger ahead of WrestleMania Backlash.

While his win against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37 was the biggest of his career, the victory on SmackDown has bigger consequences in the long run.
