A Wrestling What If - CESARO vs RUSEV

It has been clear to many of us for sometime that Cesaro has some serious Face potential and with moves such as the Giant Swing in his repertoire, the fans started to cheer him on pre-Wrestlemania 30 when he was still a part of the Real Americans with Zeb and Swagger. He went on to win the AtGBR at Mania 30, but instead of a face turn thereafter to cement his growing popularity, WWE decided to have him align himself with Paul Heyman.



Now, enticing as the manager-client match is between Heyman and Cesaro, it is fair to say that thus far, it hasn't really delivered thus far. To some, including myself, Cesaro's popularity will have to be built up in a big way again to cement himself as a capable Main Event performer and it could yet come by the way of the rumoured Heyman Guys Showdown between Cesaro and Brock Lesnar.







All that said;



What IF, Cesaro did have a face turn, but instead stayed with Zeb Colter in a Babyface Real Americans, with Swagger(who is nothing more than a MidCarder anyways) being the one to be kicked out of the group?







At the end of the day, it is not like Cesaro has been in any important storylines since Mania until now. Also, a program with Swagger after Mania initially culminating in a grudge match between Cesaro w/Zeb vs Swagger would have been a great start point for his babyface run.







Also, with an actual over babyface in a conveniently named Real American type team w/Cesaro & Zeb Colter...would have been the perfect storyline opponent for Rusev & Lana and whilst it would have generated some great in-ring work between the two strong men/'super athletes', it would have helped Cesaro's popularity go through the roof,lMO, whilst also making more use of Zeb Colter in a face role.





It would have been the perfect Storyline for a SummerSlam match-up to cement Cesaro's popularity with the Real Americans vs Evil Russians , and could have been a way to not only help Cesaro to the top, but also with great in-ring work, Rusev could have come out looking all the better going forward also.



Also, throw the United States title into such a feud going into SummerSlam(maybe, Rusev defeats Sheamus for it) and that would generate even more interest in it.(Rusev as some from the IWC have suggested, can rename the US title,as the Russian Heavyweight title)







It is also not impossible to make the Cesaro vs Lesnar match a possibility at Wrestlemania 31, even if Cesaro and Heyman never linked up,tbh.

Storyline-wise, it might not have been as interesting as 2 Heyman guys going after each other, but it would still have been a great feud regardless, with a proper Heyman vs Zeb confrontation as well, since both would be with guys that the WWE has faith in(as opposed to Zeb and Swagger in a half-hearted grudge feud with Cesaro w/Heyman).
