4. Antonio Cesaro
Cesaro is without a doubt one of my favorite wrestlers and it has really killed me how he has been treated in WWE. Since I first decided to include him on this list, the E has given him some sort of renewed push by placing him with Zeb Coulter. However, I believe that the leader of the Shield could be a perfect way to get Cesaro up to the prominence that I believe he deserves as an in-ring talent. Cesaro is literally able to wrestle circles around some of the main event talent on the WWE roster, and he is one of the strongest individuals I have ever seen in wrestling. Fed up with the way he has been treated by the WWE, Cesaro can throw his hat into the ring of the Shield. The Shield has been intent with taking over WWE, and they can cite Cesaro's previous experience with hostile takeovers with other groups such as the Kings of Wrestling and Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes. Both of these groups were concerned with taking control of their promotions, and Cesaro was a key member of both groups. Thus, the Shield would be willing to fall under the guidance of a profound technical expert, a man of brute strength, and a man of superior intellect to your average wrestler (Cesaro can legitimately speak 5 languages). I believe all of these factors make Cesaro a perfect leader for the Shield.
