#5 Cesaro

This picture says it all

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

He's without question, one of the most talented superstars in professional wrestling today and according to his peers, he's the strongest man on the roster.

Not only that, but Cesaro has been over for quite some time now. One trip to a live WWE event will give you all the evidence you need. Especially if you happen to sit in the "Cesaro Section." Cesaro made a name for himself as Claudio Castagnoli on the independent circuit, where he won way more often than he lost.

Unfortunately, his win/loss record isn't quite as attractive in the WWE. Cesaro has dropped nearly 60% of all of his pay-per-view matches and just until recently, he had been winning roughly one match for every three he competed in. Cesaro is in an interesting situation now, being forced to align himself with his nemesis, Sheamus.

Nevertheless, the storyline is intriguing and as his time has progressed with WWE, Cesaro has grown as a storyteller and continues to be among the top overall in-ring performers in the entire industry.
