Even though he has been with the company for nearly seven years, Cesaro is still something of a hidden treasure within WWE. He has held the United States Championship and is a 6-time Tag Team Champion, but many fans have wanted to see more from the talented Superstar. Fans have been disappointed seeing him come so close to becoming a singles star on multiple occasions.

He didn't even get drafted during the initial two nights but was placed on the SmackDown brand on Wednesday, two days after the official draft ended. Cesaro has been on his own for a while since his long-time tag partner Sheamus has been out with injuries, but other than having a few outstanding matches, he hasn't done much of note.

The new SmackDown on FOX vs. RAW on USA feud could script a few good things for Cesaro's future. He may not have been placed on a show during the televised draft, but he's on SmackDown now and he may be one of the only men who could possibly match Brock Lesnar's strength inside the squared circle.

He definitely has the speed and agility edge on the WWE Champion. Cesaro has always had a ton of fan support, and maybe now, just shy of his 39th birthday, it's time for the Swiss Cyborg to step out of the shadows and challenge for the biggest prize in WWE.
