When one talks about swing in WWE, a certain name that comes to mind is Cesaro. The King of Swing has swayed quite a few superstars on the SmackDown roster, with Seth Rollins in particular being at the receiving end multiple times.

The inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner has been in some interesting rivaliries with big heels on the blue-brand. As a babyface, Cesaro defeated Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37, which was one of the biggest wins of his career. He then went on to beat Rollins on SmackDown, earning him a chance to compete for the Universal Championship.

The Swiss Superstar squared off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania Backlash and came mighty close to winning, before falling short. After this match, Cesaro was attacked by Rollins and their feud continued for a couple of weeks on SmackDown, culminating at Hell in a Cell, where Cesaro was defeated.

The King of Swing was again beaten by the Drip King in a Money in the Bank qualifying match on the July 9 espisode of SmackDown and since then hasn't been in any noteworthy storyline.

With the WWE Draft taking place at the start of next month, it would surely be a good idea to put Cesaro on the red-brand in a new storyline. In this article, we identify 5 opponents for Cesaro if he is drafted to RAW.


#5 AJ Styles vs Cesaro - A phenonmenal feud

AJ Styles is one of the leading heels on RAW and it would be interesting to have Cesaro go up against him. Currently in a rivalry with Randy Orton, Styles could look to continue his dominant heel run with a feud against another babyface in Cesaro.

With Omos, Styles' personal colossus and tag team partner by his side, The Swiss Superstar would certainly have his hands full. Whether this culminates in a tag-team feud with Cesaro and a babyface partner or one-on-one with The Phenomenal One, the rivalry will surely be a riveting contest.

#4 Sheamus vs Cesaro - From partners to foes

Cesaro and Sheamus as The Bar were among the most dominating tag-teams on the entire WWE roster. With Sheamus currently playing a heel on RAW, this feud could certainly be very compelling, pinning former partners as foes if Cesaro is drafted to the red-brand.

The United States Championship could also be up for grabs in this storyline if the Celtic Warrior emerges victorious in the triple threat match at Extreme Rules this Sunday.


#4 Damian Priest vs Cesaro - Battle of the babyfaces

Damian Priest, the current United States champion, will be in a triple threat match against Sheamus and Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules for his title. If the Archer of Infamy successfully defends, he could start a feud with Cesaro, a former United States champion himself.

The Swiss Superstar can certainly work his way in this rivalry to become the United States Champion for a second time. The WWE universe will enjoy this battle of babyfaces, with both wrestlers being extremely gifted athletes in the ring.

#2 Randy Orton vs Cesaro - A contest worthy of putting the Swiss Superstar over on RAW

Randy Orton is most certainly the guy to put Cesaro over if the latter is drafted to RAW. The Viper, since forming RK-Bro with Riddle, is doing some of his best work this year as a fan favorite.

Truth be told, it is strange as well as awesome at the same time to see Randy as a babyface. His storyline in singles and tag-team competition against AJ Styles and Omos serves as an enticing reason to tune in every Monday.

Cesaro and Randy could either feud as two babyfaces or it would be interesting to see the Swiss Superstar turn heel against a babyface Orton. Irrespective of the roles they play, Cesaro's career would certainly soar with this rivalry.


#1 Bobby Lashley vs Cesaro - A power-packed contest

Bobby Lashley, after losing the WWE Championship last week on RAW when Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, has been fuming. He single-handedly decimated New Day as well as The Bloodline this week and was also part of the triple threat main event against Roman Reigns and Big E, where Reigns emerged victorious.

If WWE decides not to have The All Mighty in title contention in the near future, with Big E serving as long-standing champion, Cesaro could definitely come into the mix to face him. The contest will pin the biggest heel on the RAW roster against a new babyface.

The Swiss Superstar would certainly get a push on the red-brand facing a main eventer in Bobby Lashley.
