#1 Flop on WWE SmackDown: Cesaro back in the tag team division?

Before we dive into the criticism about Cesaro’s booking on WWE SmackDown, it is crucial to establish that there was nothing wrong with his performance. In fact, he was at his usual best when he teamed up with Mansoor to take on the team of Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo. He looked strong throughout the match and also worked hard to put all the younger talents over with the crowd.

However, was it necessary to push him into this booking? He has been a part of the tag team division for so long and has finally got the chance to pursue his singles career. The creative team dropped the ball when they didn’t capitalize on his momentum earlier this year.

However, that doesn’t mean that he cannot establish himself as a dominant name on WWE SmackDown.

Cesaro would undoubtedly make for an interesting addition to the Intercontinental Championship picture. He can even engage in an entertaining feud with his former tag team partner Sheamus, who is now on the Blue brand. The Swiss Superman is a talented performer who deserves to be a part of compelling narratives on the Friday night show.
