Former NXT Champion Aleister Black made SmackDown Live his new home after the 2019 Superstar Shakeup. The Dutch Destroyer's former tag team partner, Ricochet, has excelled in the singles division of Monday Night RAW. The One and Only captured the United States Championship last Sunday, whereas Black is yet to wrestle his first match after splitting up with Ricochet.
WWE had been airing vignettes featuring Aleister Black where the superstar was asking the superstars of SmackDown Live to step up to him. After weeks and weeks of hype, WWE finally had someone knock the door of Black's room.
SmackDown superstar Buddy Murphy teased on Twitter that he was the one who knocked the door but according to a recent rumor, Cesaro will be Aleister Black's opponent at Extreme Rules.
The WWE Universe seems to be confused after this rumor broke out as they did not expect Cesaro to be in this position. Well, here are 3 probable reasons why Cesaro will reportedly face Aleister Black at WWE Extreme Rules.
#3 To continue surprising the WWE Universe
The WWE Universe loves surprises, and in the last week, they got a lot of surprises. On Sunday, Baron Corbin picked Lacey Evans as the shocking guest referee of the main event. Next, the WWE Creative brought back the Undertaker on RAW, followed by the commencement of a WWE Championship feud between Kofi Kingston and Samoa Joe.
While the 2 out of 3 falls matches have not gone down well with the WWE Universe, they have liked the above three ideas.
In the Aleister Black situation, everyone was expecting Randy Orton to challenge him first, but WWE has reportedly picked Cesaro of all superstars as his first opponent. Nobody saw this coming, and so when the Swiss Superman finally confronts the Dutch Destroyer, WWE will be successful in generating some buzz once again.
#2 To elevate Aleister Black
It is no secret that Cesaro is one of the best in-ring technicians in WWE. He has delivered some of the most memorable matches of the New Era with the finest of them being against the likes of Sheamus, Roman Reigns, and Ricochet. His recent series of matches against Ricochet received immense praise from the WWE Universe.
This would have delighted the backstage officials as well hence, they could be planning for a match between Cesaro and Black at Extreme Rules.
The fact that Ricochet won the United States Championship after a brief rivalry with Cesaro indicates that the Swiss Superman has the ability to elevate the newer superstars.
It seemed like the 6-time tag team champion was in for a push when he debuted a new theme song on RAW two months ago, but now, WWE is using him to create new stars.
Cesaro vs Aleister Black promises to wow the wrestling fans at WWE Extreme Rules. An extreme stipulation can make things more interesting.
#1 Short program before WWE SummerSlam
WWE Extreme Rules is just two weeks away, so WWE would not have been able to build a truly intense rivalry involving Aleister Black for that event.
A lot of fans feel that the WWE Creative has huge plans for Bray Wyatt and Aleister Black at WWE SummerSlam. Thus, the team may have Cesaro feud with the Dutch Destroyer until the Eater of the Worlds confronts him.
To give Black a victory at Extreme Rules is a no-brainer and this filler feud may take place because Aleister Black's vignettes have become monotonous. He will have no momentum by his side heading into SummerSlam if WWE does not book him to wrestle at Extreme Rules.
One can easily imagine Black standing tall after a win over Cesaro and then the Fiend can show up to ignite the rivalry. Black vs Wyatt is a feud that everyone wants to see. This match deserves a marquee stage like SummerSlam hence, WWE is progressing in the right direction by booking Cesaro as Black's opponent at Extreme Rules.
