WWE SmackDown Results, Roman vs Cesaro Confirmed at Backlash

The most under-rated superstar in WWE is finally getting the recognition that he deserves. Our Swiss-Superman Cesaro has now earned an opportunity against his arch-rival, Universal champion Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania Backlash on 16 May.

This happened when Cesaro beat the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins in this week’s SmackDown, ending the match with a neutralizer. He used the outside interference from Jey and Jimmy USO, Reigns’ cousins, for his advantage and made the most of the opportunity given to him. Now it will be interesting to see how this storyline builds up and what type of chemistry Roman Reigns and Cesaro will share in the ring at WrestleMania Backlash.

This storyline began when Cesaro came out in the ring to share some words with the Tribal Chief, who in return left the ring without giving Cesaro a chance to speak. In the other episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman did give a shot of WWE Universal Championship to Daniel Bryan but asked him to never appear on the show if he would lose the match. In that episode, he conveyed that he doesn’t consider Cesaro worth a championship match.

Bryan lost his championship match on the very next SmackDown episode. Cesaro was the only person left in the storyline who could be a possible challenger to Roman. On this week’s SmackDown, Teddy long returned and announced that Cesaro will get a shot at the Universal championship only when he defeats Seth Rollins. And he did the same.

Their Previous Encounters

Their last one-on-one match happened way back in 2017 when Cesaro challenged roman reigns for an Intercontinental title match on Monday night Raw. Cesaro lost the match when big dog speared him after an incredible hassle between the ropes. Their last WWE Main title match ended with Roman spearing Cesaro in the ribs after a nasty super-man punch and winning the match with a pinfall.

By looking at their previous matches, we can claim that they both share great chemistry between the ropes. They both know how to deliver a 5-Star match. It will be interesting to witness that who will emerge as a winner between the two, the athletic-technician one of the powerhouse.
