Why Cesaro Is Finally Getting A WWE Push

6. His Peers Have His Back

Does a WWE talent need to have friends in the right places in order to succeed? Not necessarily, but it certainly helps.

As one of the very best in-ring workers on the planet, Cesaro clearly has the talent to be pushed to the moon, yet that's not been the case for the former United States Champion until now.

What gives fans reason to be particularly optimistic on the Cesaro front right now, is that he has supporters in the right places.

One of Cesaro's biggest fans is Daniel Bryan, who is these days helping on the SmackDown creative team. While Bryan has played down reports that he's a major driving factor behind Cesaro's recent push, you know he's totally got the Swiss Superman's back.

Likewise, another huge supporter of Cesaro is his WrestleMania 37 opponent, Seth Rollins. Given Rollins' close relationship with Triple H and his status as one of the company's top guys, one has to imagine WWE places plenty of stock in what the Messiah says. If he's saying Cesaro is great, that opinion will be valued.

From watching his matches, you can see that Cesaro's on-screen rivals are busting a gut just as hard to make him shine as he has done for so many of them for so long - with there clearly a level of respect and admiration for the Swiss from each and every one of his peers.
