If there's an award for 'Most Random Time To Pull Off A Wrestling Rib', it should probably go to chrome-domed wrestling cyborg Cesaro. After making his entrance with partner Sheamus at WrestleMania 35, the Swiss star left the ring and camped out at ringside to watch Aleister Black and Ricochet come out for a SmackDown Tag Title four way.

Except Cesaro wasn't watching them.

He told The Sun that he spotted Rusev's mother and father sitting at ringside and couldn't resist having a bit of fun at their expense. Marching over, he started slagging them off, calling his father names and generally being a total pest. It was dark too, so mum and dad had no idea what was going on.

This is something Cesaro regards as one of 2019's highlights thus far (which might just say it all about his year in the company). He had a laugh verbally torturing mama and papa Rusev before they watched their son work on WWE's grandest stage. What a heel.
