12 Current WWE Stars Who Could Be Legends Reborn

7. Cesaro - Chris Benoit

Cesaro is lauded as the most criminally underused performer on the entire roster, and rightfully so. For all the lip service from management about talent needing to grab the brass ring and how they listen to the crowd, they took a guy who was poised to be a breakout superstar based on months of rabid fan reactions and shunted him down the card to the point that he€™s now right back where he started, stuck in a tag team. The problem is for all of Cesaro€™s wrestling prowess, he€™s not that interesting as a personality €“ although to be fair he hasn€™t been given much of an opportunity to prove that he can be. He€™s a guy who can pull people in through his ring work, captivating with a dazzling arsenal of stylistic moves, but when it comes time to deliver the character moments he probably will never be given much of a stage. This puts him in the same company as the late Chris Benoit: one of the elite workers in the business but lacking the necessary charisma for a sustained push as a top star. Looking back at WrestleMania XX and the run that led up to it, it was sheer force of will from the fans that pushed him into the main event and made him a world champion in WWE. Will Cesaro ever get a crowning moment similar to Benoit€™s coronation at WrestleMania XX? It€™s too early to tell, but it€™s a safe bet that he€™ll always be viewed as a workhorse who can go in the ring and may occasionally flirt with the main event rather than seeing any real time as a top-tier guy.
