Cesaro is WWE's perpetual nearly-man. He is an outrageously talented in-ring performer and has his own unique brand of charisma, but the most coveted titles in WWE have always eluded him, despite his success as a midcard singles champion and accomplished tag team wrestler.

Last year, Cesaro made chicken salad out of chicken excrement as part of a thrown together partnership with Sheamus. Now known as The Bar, the duo has reigned supreme over the tag division on Raw and, while they are currently locked in a seemingly endless feud against The Shield, they have produced a string of compelling matches.

The time is right, however, for Cesaro to finally get the chance to taste world championship gold. He connects with fans through his dynamic athleticism in the ring and the more smarky corner of the wrestling fanbase will absolutely get behind the Swiss Cyborg if he gets the opportunity to push for a major title run.
