Maybe more than ever, Cesaro is on the cusp of breaking out as a main event player. His recent Raw matches with John Cena have reminded the WWE Universe just how incredibly talented he is, and a clean win over Rusev on Smackdown proves that WWE's brass know just how valuable he can be. With the upper card a bit low on full-time superstars, Cesaro could be a huge benefit to the company -- just imagine a feud between the Swiss Superman and WWE Champion Seth Rollins.

Randy Orton has been a bit stagnant since turning babyface, but he's still capable of great performances. While face versus face matches are rare on WWE's undercard, there's a simple story to be told -- both men are hungry for an opportunity at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and they're each functioning as a roadblock in the other's path.

Given enough time, the bout could steal the show at SummerSlam, and with the right booking, it could make Cesaro a permanent fixture in WWE's upper echelon.
