Cesaro Keen On Match With Brock Lesnar

WWE SmackDown star Cesaro seems to be very keen on the idea of having a match against Brock Lesnar in WWE some day.

A couple of weeks ago on SmackDown, a number of wrestlers came out from the locker room to try and calm Lesnar down when he was on the warpath, and one of those wrestlers was Cesaro.

There was a moment where Cesaro and Lesnar pretty much came face-to-face, and Cesaro followed up by posting a picture of that moment on Twitter.

Naturally a lot of fans salivated at the prospect of a potential match between the two, and speaking with the Manchester Evening News ahead of WWE’s UK tour, Cesaro said:

“I feel like wrestling Brock Lesnar would be up there, it would be a big challenge and something fun to do. Doing my absolute best, the match with WALTER will be a big match, the reputation we’ve both built over the years. The match with Brock Lesnar, which you’ve just mentioned, that would be another awesome match.

“To me, it’s really cool because it was just one picture and everyone ran wild with it simply based off the reputation that I have and that he has. To me, it’s really cool to see that I’ve built up a relationship with the fans so that they know whenever I get into the ring with someone of that calibre, or whoever it is, it’s going to be great.

“It’s a challenge to keep doing that, keep performing, keep having these matches that people want to see. If I do that, they always finds new ways to keep things fresh and keep it interesting.”

Cesaro and Lesnar did have a brief altercation in the 2020 Royal Rumble match, but it only lasted a few seconds until Lesnar eliminated him, much like he did to everyone until Keith Lee showed up.

WWE appears to have potentially teased that Drew McIntyre could be Lesnar’s next opponent after Lesnar is finished with Roman Reigns.

Cesaro will be facing WALTER in a dream match on the UK tour this month, and on that match, he said:

“He’s somebody I always wanted to face. We have a similar background, coming up through pretty much the same ranks in Europe and then travelling the world. I’m very, very excited that this is going to happen.

“I’m even more excited to see how excited the fans are to see that much. The fact that it’s only on live events makes me strangely excited because it just means it’s hopefully a legendary match that lives on in people’s heads. The fact it’s happening in England, in Europe, is very special.

“It’s cool to see that England gets something special. I still think we should run a pay-per-view over in England. The fact that they get this match and people are excited for it makes me feel really good.”

WWE is reportedly planning for a pay-per-view at the start of September next year to be at either the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff or Wembley in London.
