Now that Daniel Bryan is banished from
SmackDown and his WWE contract is expired, the path is clear for Cesaro to ascend into the top babyface role on Friday nights. Another win in tonight’s
WrestleMania rematch against Seth Rollins is a necessary ingredient for making that happen.
But Seth Rollins is no placeholder opponent. What if he actually wins this match, perhaps with some assistance from Jey Uso? Is it out of the question that WWE might be setting up a three way match for the
