WrestleMania Backlash: 2 WWE Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Big change in Roman Reigns’ title run, Zombies eat former champions?

#2 Impressed at WrestleMania Backlash: Cesaro

Cesaro delivered a great match against Roman Reigns

At WrestleMania Backlash, WWE Superstar Cesaro got his first-ever chance to challenge for the world title. Fans have always supported his push and truly wanted the creative to invest in his momentum while building up to his title match against Roman Reigns. It would be fair to say that he delivered beyond expectations when the opportunity presented itself at the recently concluded pay-per-view.

Reigns refused to see Cesaro as a 'deserving' challenger for most of the feud. The Swiss Cyborg deserves a lot of credit for hitting back with a memorable performance that forced the Universal Champion to change his opinion. Cesaro was determined not to give up and fought resiliently during his title match at WrestleMania Backlash.

He also took many risks inside the squared circle that eventually helped him gain the upper hand. Cesaro came close to beating Reigns on multiple occasions, but the champion managed to fight back. Unfortunately, he fell victim to Reigns' brutal submission maneuver and passed out at WrestleMania Backlash. After the match, both Jey Uso and Seth Rollins attacked Cesaro and subjected him to a brutal beatdown.

This match did more than enough to convincingly establish Cesaro as a big threat in the world title picture. WWE should refrain from pushing him back into the midcard. During his recent run as a babyface, he has done well and has proved that he can deliver commendable feuds with some of the biggest heels on SmackDown after WrestleMania Backlash.
