He's had a pretty stellar past week or so working with the main eventers. Had a great match with Randy Orton on SmackDown and picked up a surprising win followed by having an excellent showing by all accounts against Cena on RAW despite coming up short. He faces Sheamus on SmackDown tomorrow which should be a pretty great physical brawl between them.

Question is, do you think the WWE sees him as a future main eventer player and this past month or so was testing the water or do you think it was a case of them needing to fill a spot in the chamber with Punk being on hiatus and The Shield/ The Wyatt's needing to face off.

There's no doubts that the guy has the wrestling credentials to hang in the main event which has already been evident and he's got a nice established moveset where he gets the pops for his signature stuff. He's got the size and a throwback look about him which works and also speaks the multiple languages which I think the WWE will love for the PR when they do the European tours. My only worry for him is his mic work / character which at the moment is fine while he's apart of The Real Americans and has Zeb with him, however if he turned face against him I think he would have more of a chance succeeding on his own given how pretty generic the faces are.

So what are your thoughts on everything Cesaro?

Id say he and Big E are both guys they see a lot of potential in. They are the Physique the WWE likes they both are decently over at the moment. Both in the age range of Make or break so if they are going to move they need to start moving soon.

I love Cesaro and he's so over once he's in the ring. I, personally, think he's a good talker but I think his accent could hurt him some because it's not comical and stereotypical like a Sheamus and what not. Think he's due for a nice face run though.

They could be building Cesaro, or as you said maybe they just needed someone to fill Punk's chamber spot. But WWE must definitely be considering him after the last week or two. God I hope he goes far. He's got the looks, skills and stamina to do anything and I think fans are confident in him.

I'm most interested to see how he'll be packaged in future. Before or after Cesaro leaves The Real Americans (the team has plenty of live left but it won't last forever) they'll decide to focus on his character by giving him more promos and perhaps a gimmick. What happens then? That's what I wanna know. Like Big E, I'd like to know more about what Cesaro the main-eventer will look like.

Cena said something interesting on Austin's podcast, he said something along the lines of in ring work is going to be more important than mic work because of WWEs global expansion into non English markets like china and India. Because in ring combat translates better than two guys with mics.

Meaning a guy like Cesaro would be the kind of guy to push instead of a Miz. He has all the tools, great look, great worker. And like I said when people were crying about Cesaro putting over the PTP, helluva hands will always have work and be used when the entertainers lose steam. He will be on top if the cards in due time. He has the franchise in his corner, what more do you need?

I hope so, but who can predict anything with WWE nowadays, everything is just so random.
