16 Wrestlers Who Must Feature In WWE's Crown Jewel World Cup

7. Switzerland - Cesaro (Sidgwick)

Honestly, Cesaro’s inclusion here is nought but a thinly-veiled wish to see the Swiss Superman fly around the desert and take some unfortunate b*stard on an uppercut carpet ride.

Cesaro is just great. Great. Inventive, powerful, explosive, as strong as an ox with the physiology of a froghopper, Cesaro is simply a performer capable of winning over a crowd by the end of a match nobody bothered to promote.

And, since WWE’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is a 10-year deal, they’re gonna need at least one guy who isn’t yet utterly mummified on the plane in 2024, because if you think Kane is still gonna be wrestling by then, you’d be right, for f*ck’s f*cking sake.
