10 More Real-Life Wrestling Feuds You Totally Didn't Know About

1. Cesaro Vs. Eddie Kingston

AEW fans adore how outspoken Eddie Kingston is. That candour is defo part of his charm, and it's why so many folks were looking forward to his match with CM Punk late-last year. During an interview with News 12, Kingston revealed somebody else he's not too keen on: WWE's Cesaro.

Eddie called Cesaro a "big Swiss idiot". Why? It appears Kingston's distaste for the SmackDown man stems from an incident backstage at a CHIKARA show when both were on the indy scene. Reportedly, Cesaro refused to put Eddie over, and AEW's in-your-face star hasn't forgotten about it.

He said he doesn't "respect" Cesaro, and probably never will.

Cesaro, meanwhile, hasn't really said much on the topic. Somebody needs to get ballsy and ask him about Eddie during a podcast chat - wouldn't that be special? Also, if Cesaro ever leaves WWE for AEW, Tony Khan has to book this match.
