There's a sense that Cesaro's current character is entrenched in reality. For the longest time, many fans have cried out in frustration about how under-utilised the Swiss star is on WWE television, something the company have now used to fuel his 'Best Of 7 Series' opposite Sheamus. It's hard to argue with the results, each match between the pair has been wholly enjoyable.

A champion of favouring in-ring wrestling over any other aspect of the product, Cesaro is someone those who enjoy solid action between the ropes can appreciate. It may therefore surprise some to learn that he's not a fan of certain moves, using Samoa Joe's Muscle Buster finisher as an example during a chat with GMA News Online.

Remarking that he'd love to work a series of matches with Joe, Cesaro also made sure to note that he wouldn't be keen on taking the Muscle Buster. Going further, he even said that it wouldn't shock him to see the move be banned by his employers in the near future.

Those are strong words, especially because that finishing move is such a large part of Joe's act.
