SmackDown star Cesaro has been on a roll for the past few months in WWE. The Swiss Superman defeated former champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. His win indicated that the company may have finally seen the potential in the SmackDown Superstar as a singles competitor.

PW Torch's Wade Keller stated that Cesaro may be in for a sustained push after WrestleMania 37. With Cesaro coming face to face with Roman Reigns on SmackDown last week, we may be getting a feud between the two powerhouses.

''It gave off a real sense, based on the overall presentation of the match, the finish, and the commentary that Cesaro is headed for a sustained big singles push this year.'' Said Keller.

Fightful Select have reported that recently released superstar Billie Kay was loved backstage and her release hasn't gone down well with the locker room. The report stated the primary reason for Kay's release was producer Kevin Dunn, who did not see anything special in her.

The report claimed that Kevin Dunn did not 'get' Billie Kay and he saw a ceiling for her success in WWE. Billie Kay had made a bigger impact than Peyton Royce after The IIconics were split up, being featured regularly on SmackDown, albeit in a comedic role.

Most of the released superstars hadn't been used in WWE for a long time, but the former Women's Tag Team Champion had been a part of WrestleMania 37 just days prior to WWE letting her go.
