We are back to the ring for the Peep Show with Christian. He says there are a lot of Peeps in Brooklyn. Christian says he misses everyone and he says he knows a little about tag teams. He is a nine time tag team champion. He thought he had seen it all but then he saw this team win in their first match together. Christian brings out Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan.

Jason interrupts Seth and he says this is amazing. He knows they are here to talk about their upcoming title defense, but Jason says it is an honor to be in Christian’s presence and the presence of all of the superstars and legends in the back. He says he wanted to thank everyone for their continued support, but he wants to congratulate his dad for assembling such a collection of talent tonight. Jason says his dad does not really suck. He wants everyone to give his dad a round of applause.

Sheamus and Cesaro’s music plays and they come out to the stage.

Sheamus tells Jason to calm down because the legends and superstars were here to get their autographs and take pictures with them. Sheamus says those same superstars and legends had the same sentiment. They expect them to reclaim their tag titles on Sunday. Sheamus says they thanked them in advance for doing so.

Cesaro tells Jason it is not his dad who sucks, it is Jason who sucks. Sheamus and Cesaro sing ‘You Suck’ and the crowd joins in.

Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
Kat No comments


Destiny didn’t quite bring them together, but Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan are destined to be in for an incredible fight when they defend their newly-captured titles against former champions Cesaro & Sheamus at Royal Rumble.

Following the injury to Seth Rollins’ Shield brother-in-arms Dean Ambrose, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle chose his son Jason Jordan as The Architect’s new tag team partner, and perhaps no one could have predicted that the makeshift pair would immediately take down The Bar for Team Red’s tag team crowns on a special Christmas night edition of Monday Night Raw. That miraculous victory didn’t exactly go all the way in uniting Rollins and Jordan, however, as the two Superstars have somewhat struggled to gel ever since becoming champions, despite continuing to fend off The Swiss Cyborg and The Celtic Warrior.

However, with a title rematch against Cesaro & Sheamus at Royal Rumble on the horizon, can Rollins & Jordan find the rhythm they need to carry on as Raw Tag Team Champions? Or, will the trust and experience between The Swiss Cyborg and The Celtic Warrior carry them back into the championship circle?

Find out when the Raw Tag Team Titles are defended at Royal Rumble, streaming live on WWE Network on Sunday, Jan. 28, at a special start time of 7 ET/4 PT.

Raw Tag Team Champion Cesaro Interview
Kat No comments


NZPWI had the opportunity to speak to WWE Superstar Cesaro earlier this week.

A former United States Champion, and Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner, The Swiss Superman has stamped his mark on the WWE Universe since debuting in 2012.

Currently one-half of the Raw Tag Team Champions, Cesaro will be part of the WWE Live event in Christchurch this September.

Cesaro spoke to NZPWI’s David Dunn about his path to WWE, Sheamus, The Hardy Boyz, his excitement about New Zealand, and more in this exclusive interview conducted Monday, June 12.

***

David Dunn: Growing up in Switzerland, what’s your first memory of pro-wrestling?

Cesaro: My first memory was seeing The Steiners and The Quebecers on my television with WWF back then. Then it was Bret Hart and Owen Hart and Macho Man, those guys, right away, but the first memory I have of professional wrestling is The Steiner Brothers against The Quebecers.

Watching them, did you immediately want to become a pro-wrestler?

When you see it as a kid it’s like, ‘Wow, this is so cool!’ Like a comic book, but it’s real, and it draws you right in. Of course you dress up as them and you play wrestling and it’s just so much fun. Growing up I was kind of like, that’s what I want to do. As a kid that was my dream job. It’s like, ‘What’s your dream job?’ ‘I want to be a professional wrestler.’ And then reality kicks in and you find another real job, and that’s what I did, but then I had a chance to train wrestling and follow those footsteps and I haven’t looked back since.

What was the best piece of advice you received when you first started training?

When I started training I would say… eyes and ears open, mouth shut. That was it, one of the best pieces of advice. Just learn as much as you can and from anybody that you can, and never stop learning.

Obviously, with the realities of immigration, it’s not a straightforward path from Switzerland to America. Was it difficult to make it to the United States?

It was very difficult. If you look back I got kind of lucky – they say luck is preparation meets opportunity, and that kind of happened for me. I wrestled for about four years in Europe and I went to the United States to train a couple of times and then I was lucky enough to enter the green card lottery. I won a green card, which is, you can come to the US and work. I had a really good job at Johnson & Johnson in Switzerland and I quit, and four months later I moved to the United States and, again, haven’t looked back since. The other day I looked up and the chance for me winning was about one per cent.

You battled your current tag team partner, Sheamus, in a Best of Seven Series in 2016. Do you prefer wrestling Sheamus, or having him in your corner?

I prefer looking over and seeing Sheamus on my side. It’s no fun to be hit hard by Sheamus. It’s much more fun to see Sheamus hit other people hard … on top of that, over the years—especially the last year of us hitting each other hard—we grew a bond and a respect for each other, and right now we’re the best of chums so to speak.

You’re currently involved in a feud with The Hardy Boyz, an iconic team in WWE history. What do you and Sheamus need to do to be held in the same regard as Matt and Jeff?

I think we already proved we can beat The Hardy Boyz, and we can hang with The Hardy Boyz. We are just getting started, and I think if we continue the path that we started we definitely have a chance to improve and become one of the greatest tag teams in WWE. If you look at Sheamus’ career, he’s won just about everything there is to win in WWE. With me, I think this is going to be a fun team for a long time in the future.

From your Best of Seven Series with Sheamus, to your Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules, to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, you’ve wrestled under some of WWE’s most iconic stipulations. Are there any matches you’d still like to have?
I’ve had a chance to compete in many of the iconic matches. For example we also won Survivor Series last year in Canada, which was amazing. There’s a few matches… since you had the steel cage match, I remember those the old blue steel cage which would be amazing—just maybe for nostalgia reasons—would be awesome to compete in one of those. I’m trying to think of other matches. I still prefer the one-on-one, classic wrestling match and that’s why the Best of Seven series with Sheamus is so fond in mind. That’s what I think bonded me and Sheamus because we left it all in the ring. How about an Ironman Match? Like a 60-minute Ironman Match. How about we put that there?

You have such a diverse moveset, from the Neutraliser, to the Cesaro Swing, to the European Uppercut. Do you have a favourite move to perform?

I would say the European Uppercut, because I can do so many different variations of it so I can be extremely creative with it and I always find different ways to hit it, which is a lot of fun for me, and also the crowd, to watch because you never really know what to expect. I think that’s part of, like you said, the moveset, I think I have a moveset that people know the moves but you don’t really know when to expect it and I think that’s part of the fun of watching. It’s not just, ‘Okay, he’s going to do the same thing at the same time in the same order.’ It’s a little bit different. Of course, the Cesaro Swing is near and dear to my heart because it’s an incredible move and it takes an incredible person to execute it.

In 2013, the Cesaro Swing caused Titus O’Neil to be physically sick. Has that ever happened to you?

For me, no, because I got used to it and usually my legs get tired before I get dizzy. I’ve heard it from many people, they absolutely hate the Swing because they do get very dizzy, but on the other hand I’m kind of immune to it.

WWE Live comes to Christchurch this September. Have you been to New Zealand before?

I’m extremely excited about this because I’ve never been to New Zealand, apart from a layover. When you land you see all the beauty that is New Zealand, all the green. I get very excited every time we land in Switzerland for similar reasons. New Zealand, it was kind of the same feeling. So I was very excited that WWE is coming and actually Raw is coming to New Zealand and I’m extremely excited. I can’t wait to come to New Zealand and hopefully go sightseeing.

How would you describe the WWE Live event experience to someone who may have seen Raw or SmackDown Live on TV, but never seen WWE in person?

People, they want to see Raw and SmackDown with the pyros and stuff but there’s nothing compared to a WWE Live event because it’s so much more intimate. It’s so much more… you’re really just in the middle. The matches are longer, the people have more time to interact. It’s just that crazy energy that you can’t describe. What you see on TV and you watch with your friends, you kind of get sucked into the matches and the reactions, it’s amplified that by hundreds when you go to a live show. People are there to have fun and have a good time. It’s just this great energy and I can’t wait to see what New Zealand has to offer in that aspect.

Cesaro: “The return of The Hardys was a momentazo! … but not for me and Sheamus”
Kat No comments


There are less than two weeks left for WWE to return to Spain. Once again we will live the best matches in the world of professional live fight on May 6 in Valencia and 7 in A Coruña. Expect a spectacular weekend, with great moments. Therefore, one of the best European competitors who have ever graced the ring, Cesaro, took a minute with WWE.com.

WWE.COM: Switzerland is a country without a great fighting tradition, so I imagine that the beginnings were difficult. Why do I choose a Swiss guy to engage in professional struggle?

CESARO: I think you are absolutely right, certainly Spain and Switzerland, two countries with good relationship, have the same problem. I saw a lot of fighting when I was a kid and I fell in love at that stage when some people dream of being astronauts or things like that, and I wanted to be a professional fighter. Already growing up and pursuing my dreams, I had the opportunity to start training at age 19 and I was fortunate to be granted American residency, so I was able to fulfill my dream and become the first Swiss Superstar of WWE.

WWE.COM: The Hardy Boyz returned in WrestleMania. What a momentazo! Do not you think?

CESARO: Yes, go ahead for them! But not for me and Sheamus. They took action and truncated our plans. It was certainly a moment of enjoyment for the fans, they were very excited and they became very noisy. Notice that when I was young I saw the Hardy Boyz and enjoyed them a lot, I loved to see them fly.

WWE.COM: Sheamus and you will face them in WWE Payback for the Raw Couples Championship. What do you think of that and how has the landscape changed in the team division after his return at WrestleMania?

CESARO: I think the pair split changed when Sheamus and I joined, as we are two of WWE’s best competitors and surely the best team. The Hardy Boyz may have the “nostalgia factor” in their favor and they are certainly a great team, but in Payback we are going to win again the championships, because I want to return to Europe, I want to return home being world champion.

WWE.COM: You have been very successful both as an individual competitor and in pairs, but how do you feel more comfortable?

CESARO: Both. I think the key to being a great WWE Superstar, to be a great fighter is that you have to be the best around. Whether in singles or in pairs you have to adapt and hit all the challenges and I think I’m doing pretty well.

WWE.COM: After the Shakes of Superstars, who would you like to face?

CESARO: There are a lot of guys who changed teams, but I would have liked some more movement in the division in pairs. I was hoping that The Uses or American Alpha would change to Raw, but I do with those who came like The Miz, Dean Ambrose … people I’ve faced before and I would not mind facing them again, but Either way I am very happy that Sheamus and I are on this side instead of the other.

WWE.COM: If you could choose someone from SmackDown LIVE, who would you choose?

CESARO: That’s a very good question. There are lots of great SmackDown competitors, Luke Harper has been on the lag lately; Randy Orton, with whom I have been in the ring a couple of times, but who is now the current champion and I always have my eyes on the championship; If we talk about teams, American Alpha, Uses, Sexy Cops [Breezango] … there are many and Sheamus and I will never say “no” to any challenge, so we will continue to step forward and SmackDown is full of many challenges.

WWE.COM: You travel a lot with Sheamus and spend a lot of time with him. What is the funniest story that has happened to you?

CESARO: Well, I have to admit that Sheamus may be a little on the road, but he is a tremendous competitor, his work ethic is bullet-proof, he works very hard and that motivates me. We motivate each other, if I am tired encourages me and vice versa. We have many funny stories, he likes to do “chicken”, I have a great time with him.

WWE.COM: From the moment you faced Sheamus seven times to the moment you joined forces with him, what changed? How would you explain it to a casual aficionado?

CESARO: If you fight many times against someone you end up having respect. Sheamus put all the meat on the grill, just like me, and we began to respect each other as athletes. We looked at each other and we said many things to the face, believe me, many things, but we respect what the other does in the ring and how good it is.

WWE.COM: What do you think about the new talents that have come up from NXT like The Revival on Raw or Shinsuke Nakamura?

CESARO: It’s good to always have new people and the people coming from NXT come stomping. For me, what they have to do is keep that step steady and steady, with high eyes, because now they have many eyes on them and I want to see if they are able to do it.

WWE.COM: How do you feel during the tours around Europe, especially when you are in your native country?

CESARO: It’s always special for me. Whenever we do tour around Europe we had a great time. To my honestly, I am delighted to go to my native country, specifically Zurich, but I also tell you that in any country we visit on European tours is like my home. The public is always very involved and has a great time even if we go a couple of times a year. Besides, they love to see me and make me very happy. But I also tell you that I am jealous of Smackdown because they are going to visit Spain again and I have never been in your country with WWE.

WWE.COM: SmackDown will be the tour that is in Spain, but you have been in our country many years ago in Pinto with Kassius Ohno …

CESARO: When I was young and handsome …

Fox Sports Interview: FOXSports.com: “Italians, dress you better than Enzo
Kat No comments


The Swiss athlete jokes on the WWE Italian-American stereotype: “Quiet, you have a better look and I can not wait to go back to May.”

Wrestlemania 33, in partnership with his Sheamus partner, Cesaro had the opportunity to recover Raw Team Tag Team titles in the Ladder Match, then won by Hardy Boyz at WWE’s surprise return. In the coming weeks, the European couple have managed to reap the chance to compete for the Payback belts, the next Pay-Per-View, to be held on April 30 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

Regardless of how the match will take place, there will be a new rematch at the next WWE tour in Italy, which will bring RAW superstars to Rome and Bologna (May 3 and May 4 respectively). One of the scheduled matches in the card of these two events will be just a Fatal-4 Way for the pair titles, which will see the two team teams that will challenge Payback, plus the tandem Enzo Amore-Big Cass and Gallows-Anderson .

A spectacular event and where both the pair formed by Enzo Amore and Big Cass, WWE’s “Italian-Americans”, namely that of Cesaro and Sheamus, will always have the special support of the Italian audience. Just to present the upcoming tour in Europe and talk about much more, the Swiss athlete, just hours after the start of the last episode of WWE Raw, appeared at the Sprint Center Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, to respond To journalists’ questions. And among them was the editorial staff of FOXSports.it .

Antonio Cesaro said he was immediately excited about this tour in Europe, particularly the Italian stage where he could enjoy a drink of which he is crazy and that in the United States it is very complicated to find:

The coffee. I love him and there is no one who does it as well as in Italy. It will be a pleasure for me to return, each time it is as if I were in my house. However, I also grew up as an athlete, I will never forget the meetings I made in the smaller federations before winning the “green card” and becoming a professional wrestler in all respects.

Even for his passion for Italy, every time WWE makes a stop in our country, Cesaro is always among the most acclaimed:

In Italy fans are special, very passionate. You see that they are also football fans. Every time we come to Italy we are always warmly welcomed and with great enthusiasm: the energy they are able to convey is truly phenomenal.

Enzo Amore, the Italian stereotype

This time, to make him “competition” in the ranking of fans of Italian fans, there will also be Enzo Amore and Big Cass, the two “gangster” Italian-American so much sympathy arouse in the WWE Universe. The two tamarrians, with their flashy clothes and inguardable hair (especially Enzo), represent what is in theory the American stereotype of Italian in the US . So, let’s try to ask Cesaro, that Italy really knows it, even if he sees us that way. The Swiss athlete, after hearing a laugh, tries to rethink the question:

What do you think about it? Are you really like them?

Of course our answer is no , so Cesaro bursts out again to laugh and argue:

There may be someone who identifies the Italians in that way. But I know you and I think like you. It is not the right stereotype to paint you. You have a great look, you dress well and – continues to smile – drink coffee.

An answer that makes us breathe a sigh of relief and makes us go to the next question. If one day had to fight against The Miz, as usual accompanied by the inevitable wife Maryse, what WWE Women Superstar would choose to support?

We’ll bring Sheamus!

He responds without thinking of Cesaro , which is bursting into a new laughing laugh . When we point out that it has to be limited to the only female landscape, then it adapts bitterly:

No? Are you sure I can not? I think Sheamus would be happy. Well, then at my side I would come to Natalya.

Hardy Boyz and Wrestlemania 33

Now is the time to focus on real matches, such as Wrestlemania 33 , where he and Sheamus had the opportunity to recover their title titles, but then they were overtaken by Hardy Boyz’s return :

We did not expect them to be present, we had to revisit our plans. When I was little I saw their match, they were very fun. And even now they have not lost the enamel: I have to say that it is not so nice to see a plunger on a ladder. With their return, fans have deployed on their side, but I and Sheamus are stronger. Sheamus misses only the title of Intercontinental Champion for winning all four of the main belts. Our goal is to beat them to payback to return to Europe by champions.

Highest point and future plans

Looking at the past, the most beautiful moment of Wrestlemania that remembered Cesaro is that of his first appearance in the 30th edition:

Yes, on that occasion I won the first Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, it was great. Anyway, my victory was an important stage for my career.

He now sees it in pairs with Sheamus, looking for those Tag Team Champions belts that Cesaro has already won twice in his career . In his palmares there is only one title on the individual level, that of Intercontinental Champion:

Now I’m focused on the goals we have at Sheamus at WWE Raw . I think we’re creating funny matches, people appreciate them. And as I said before, we are determined to repay the Payback titles against Hardy Boyz. Then it is clear that in the future I would like to win something else on an individual level. One goal I have before quitting is just to become Universal or WWE Champion.

Going ahead of this step, it is not excluded that it will succeed. Meanwhile, the next goal is called Payback , then the tour will be in Italy. Here is the match card currently being played in the latter, considering that in the Pay-Per-View on Sunday night (2 o’clock on Sky First Fila) some of the titles in the game could change master:

Card of the Italian Tour

Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman

Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe

Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt

Dean Ambrose (C) vs. The Miz w / Maryse

The Hardy Boyz (C) vs Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs Cesaro & Sheamus vs The Club

Bayley (C) vs Mickie James vs Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax vs Emma vs Alexa Bliss

And many others…
