At WrestleMania XXX's inaugural 'Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal', Cesaro defeated the likes of Sheamus, Mark Henry, Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler in impressive fashion. He eliminated Big Show with a body slam and was presented with a huge trophy by Hulk Hogan. It was meant to be the start of a huge push for the Swiss superstar, yet it's all gone wrong for him. Point blank refusing to turn him face, WWE made Cesaro a 'Paul Heyman Guy' and gave him a win over Jack Swagger and Rob Van Dam at Extreme Rules. Since then, Cesaro hasn't won any pay per view matches. Payback (defeat to Sheamus), Money in the Bank (defeat in an eight-way ladder match), Battleground (defeat in Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship), SummerSlam (pre-show defeat to Rob Van Dam), Night of Champions (defeat to Sheamus), Hell in a Cell (defeat to Dolph Ziggler), Survivor Series (pre-show defeat to Jack Swagger) and TLC (didn't compete) have been and gone without success. Cesaro has lost Paul Heyman's services and lost his way. He was specifically mentioned by Vince McMahon in his recent interview with Steve Austin, who thinks that "something is missing" in the 'King of Swing'. How should the streak end? Just give him a win on the Royal Rumble undercard. Failing that, make him the iron man in the Rumble itself - anything that makes him look strong going into WrestleMania season.
