When hardcore wrestling fans think of both the best in-ring performers and underrated stars in WWE, Cesaro always shows up on the list. The Swiss Cyborg is one of the most talented professional wrestlers in the world. He can lead any opponent to a great performance regardless of their level of ability. But if that opponent's ability is on par with his own, look out.

Cesaro has had great performances with just about everyone but has so even more recently with Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak. Matt Riddle's matches with Thatcher were just as impressive in terms of technical prowess. For that reason alone, it would be a treat to see Cesaro trade moves with The Original Bro.

As mentioned earlier, it wouldn't likely be a one-on-one angle. Nakamura and Cesaro are still allies as evidenced by the battle royal and ensuing match between Gable and the Swiss Cyborg later in the night.

However it happens, Cesaro needs to meet The Original Bro in the ring. The strikes alone would be worth the price of admission. Riddle is also extremely creative in the ring as is Cesaro. It just seems too easy to pair these two together for one of Riddle's first main-roster programs.
