Was Cesaro Angry Over Vince McMahon's "Brass Ring" Comments?

The Swiss Superman saw it as a challenge to prove what he could do.

Cesaro was the subject of the weekly WWE.com interview with Michael Cole, revealing details of a private conversation he had with owner Vince McMahon. Last December, Vince was on the WWE Network doing a podcast with Steve Austin when Austin brought up Cesaro and he said he felt he should be used better. Vince said that Cesaro was a superstar that wasn't connecting with the audience, suggesting that he lacked charisma and verbal skills. Cesaro said he was driving to the next town, was "white knuckles" on the steering wheel, then he slept on it and when he saw Vince the next day he told him: "Vince, challenge accepted." Cesaro noted that 2 months and 22 days later he won the Tag Team Titles with Tyson Kidd, which is his way of saying that he proved to Vince what he could do.

Regarding his injured tag team partner Kidd, he noted that they found out they were teaming together on Twitter. That just shows that WWE's long term planning is poor because they should have been told about it by somebody at a show or something more formal, but apparently not. He noted that they are good friends that really want to be the best team ever. He added that you don't find friends like Kidd very often. The interview wrapped up with Cesaro talking about his match with Seth Rollins on Smackdown. He put it over as an important match because everybody wants to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and he wants to prove that every time he steps in the ring he delivers. A lot of times these interviews are done in character and they aren't that interesting, but this felt pretty real. He's also not a guy that does a lot of interviews, so it's definitely worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b-CoF-LcMk
