WWE star Cesaro recently spoke to Sports Illustrated to promote the King Of The Ring tournament, which gets underway tonight on Monday Night RAW. Cesaro will be facing Samoa Joe in the opening round of the tournament. “The King Of Swing” discussed why it makes sense for him to become the next King Of The Ring, why he’ll win, his matchup with Joe, and more.
Here are the highlights:
Why it makes sense for him to become the next King Of The Ring:
I’ve already been ‘The King of Wrestling’ and ‘The King of Swing.’ Now I plan to become the King of the Ring.
Why he’ll win:
I loved watching Bret Hart. The King of the Ring should represent wrestling all over the world, and like Bret, truly be the king in that ring. That’s me.”
His matchup with Samoa Joe:
I’ll take Samoa Joe for a ride on the Cesaro Swing with no hesitation whatsoever. I swung the Great Khali, and I threw the Big Show over the top rope at the first-ever “Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.” I’m pretty well equipped for this because of training–these aren’t disco muscles.
I’m looking at Samoa Joe as a big challenge. People have seen what I’ve done to better guys. I train in a way for my move set to work on any guy, from my finisher to European uppercuts to any other move. That’s my key to success.
Splitting up from Sheamus:
The split from Sheamus left me in an empty void. Becoming King of the Ring will help me keep climbing, and that’s what I want to do.
