#4 WWE could maintain Cesaro's push by making him King of the Ring

The King of the Ring tournament is a fantastic storytelling device and can help in building stars. Right now, Cesaro is among the top babyfaces in WWE. He is in a heated program with Seth Rollins, having recently taken Roman Reigns to his limit for the Universal Championship.

The company has to ensure Cesaro remains strong following his feuds against Rollins and Reigns. One way in doing so is having him go all the way in the returning King of the Ring tournament. A concept like that is perfect for the Swiss Superman.

Cesaro's in-ring skills are worthy of him being called King of the Ring. They would be put to the test over the course of this potential tournament as he would battle a host of names from SmackDown or RAW.

If King of the Ring is brought back as a one-night tournament, Cesaro's endurance would make him an instant favorite to go all the way. It would be a valiant effort from a tremendous babyface, while WWE could keep him near the top of the card for a potential world title push down the line.
