Cesaro has always been considered an underdog by fans in the wrestling world, and he puts in terms that UK football fans can understand.
The WWE star spoke with the Manchester City News ahead of the company’s upcoming tour in the UK and Cesaro would delve into why he considers himself the WWE’s Leicester City, who shocked the world in 2015 and won England’s Premier League championship as a massive underdog.
“Seeing Big E as champion makes me very happy. Seeing Xavier Woods as the King of the Ring is just awesome. For me, I never give up hope. I feel like if you’re a Cesaro fan, it’s kind of like being a Championship team fan, right? Like Leicester City or something before they won the Championship. Right? So you’re just hoping. I’m a Juventus fan. And I always say that I’m actually kind of happy that they didn’t win Serie A last year, because it became ‘okay, it’s the same thing’. And now it makes Serie A more interesting to watch. It’s the same with the Premier League, if Man City is not running away with it, you know, 10 points out of everyone’s reach, it makes it so much more interesting.
“So for us, I feel the more people you have in contention, the more interesting it is for the viewer. I never give up hope. I always work towards that one goal [the title]. And you know, because there is especially nowadays, there is somebody for everyone, I feel like the differences is what makes it so interesting. Not everybody is the loud mouth. Not everybody is, is the powerhouse that’s just surface-level big and strong. So we have a little bit something for everybody. And I hope I can make it back into contention to win the championship for everybody that’s believed in me for so long.”
