The Swiss Cyborg Cesaro has been on a roll in WWE Smackdown as of late. He has picked up big wins against former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan and qualified for the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match. It looks like the former U.S. Champion is finally getting the push he has long deserved.

While speaking to Paul Heyman and Kayla Braxton on Talking Smack, Cesaro issued a warning to Heyman. He claimed to become the next WWE Universal Champion by dethroning Roman Reigns.

“Every single person at home sitting in the, as we call it, Cesaro Section knows it and has ever known it. I appreciate you, I appreciate what you believe in, and that’s why I fight every single day, and I love it. Love, Paul, because I love wrestling. Love will always succeed. Your next Universal Champion, Cesaro, out.”

Many believe Kevin Owens will win the Elimination Chamber match and go on to face Roman Reigns at the PPV. However, there is a strong chance that Cesaro will emerge as the Dark Horse. As a result, he could go on to win his first Elimination Chamber match.
