On this week's SmackDown, Seth Rollins said that Cesaro had to be the "biggest waste of potential" in WWE. He made the statement in a backstage interview with Kayla Braxton.

Rollins conveyed that he was embarrassed by The Swiss Superman when the latter rejected his offer to "embrace the vision" more than once. The Messiah became interested when it was revealed that Cesaro and Murphy would face-off in a rematch from last week's episode.

As expected, Rollins came out for the contest between his former disciple and The Swiss Cyborg. Soon, he interfered during the match and brutalized Cesaro to send a defiant message to the latter star.

Rollins hit Cesaro with two curb stomps and grabbed a chair to set it up around Cesaro’s head. The Messiah may have upstaged Cesaro this week, but he was met by Shinsuke Nakamura backstage. Both stars faced-off briefly before Rollins walked away.

It's quite apparent that Seth Rollins and Cesaro will wrestle each other during WWE's WrestleMania season. Before that happens, Nakamura could avenge his former tag team partner by fighting against The Messiah on SmackDown or at Fastlane.
