#3 Seth Rollins endured 11 swings before his WWE WrestleMania 37 match became official

Seth Rollins faced Shinsuke Nakamura in a Fastlane rematch during this week's WWE SmackDown. Both men have good in-ring chemistry with each other, which is why their SmackDown clash was an engaging battle.

As much as WWE fans want Nakamura to be pushed as a top star, it is now evident that he is a secondary player in Rollins' overarching feud with Cesaro. The Messiah defeated Nakamura in their rematch, after which Rollins beat down his opponent.

To break up this one-sided attack, Cesaro arrived at the scene and retaliated against Rollins. He even attempted to swing the latter in the ring. While Rollins avoided his immediate fate, his bad karma would eventually come full-circle.

Later backstage, an enraged Rollins challenged Cesaro to a match at WWE WrestleMania 37. Cesaro accepted the match, but only after he swung The Messiah 11 times.

Cesaro's singles push has just begun, and his non-title WrestleMania match against Seth Rollins is proof that things are currently moving in the right direction for him.
