3. Cesaro picked up the biggest win of his career at WrestleMania 37

For years, Cesaro has been touted by his fellow WWE Superstars as one of the most underrated men in the industry. He proved why at WrestleMania 37.

Cesaro entered his match with Seth Rollins on Saturday night having never won a singles bout at WrestleMania. The Swiss Cyborg put an end to that run in fine style at Raymond James Stadium, picking up a victory in one of the best matches of the night.

In the build-up to their contest, Cesaro hit his Swing move on Rollins 22 times during a segment on SmackDown. Heading into their WrestleMania encounter, it always seemed likely Cesaro would try and break that record.

An attempt early in the match was not successful, but a later effort saw Cesaro land a 23-rotation swing (at least by the count of the announcers).

A Neutralizer soon followed, securing the win for Cesaro. The live crowd loved the result, reacting as though it was a breakthrough moment for Cesaro. More importantly for his long-term prospects, the WrestleMania broadcast played up the result as though it was hugely significant.

Cesaro will now have a keen eye on the second night of WrestleMania 37, where Roman Reigns defends his Universal Championship against both Edge and Daniel Bryan.

His win over Rollins could well launch Cesaro into the Universal Championship picture after WrestleMania. He is long overdue for the opportunity.
