10 Wrestlers Who Should Be Future WWE World Champions
9. Cesaro
Odds: 10-1 Sure, many of us would like to think that Cesaro has future world champion written all over him, but weve seen time and time again that the Swiss Superman is just perpetually stuck in neutral. Most recently, Cesaro was part of a great tag team with Tyson Kidd. When Kidd when down with a serious neck injury, the worry was that Cesaro would be left on the sidelines, jobbing to other midcarders with no direction. He had a series of outstanding matches with John Cena that had everyone (including the announcers) raving like mad. Many thought that this surely would lead to a big push for the King of Swing after a failed effort after WrestleMania XXX last year and other aborted pushes. But recently, hes been reduced to being Big Shows punching bag before Show got annihilated by Brock Lesnar at Madison Square Garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOnpDII5BI Still, theres always a chance that common sense will win out and the (new) powers that be will take a chance with Cesaro as WWE World Heavyweight Champion at some point. Its far from likely, but theres always a chance he could catch fire.
