Following his win over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37, Cesaro unsuccessfully challenged Reigns for the Universal Championship in the WrestleMania Backlash main event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pay-per-view was held in the WWE ThunderDome without a live crowd.
Speaking on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast, Cesaro said it was “awesome” to go one-on-one with Reigns in a major storyline. However, he would have preferred to face The Tribal Chief when fans returned.
Roman Reigns defeated Cesaro in a match lasting 27 minutes and 35 seconds. Following Reigns’ win, Seth Rollins attacked The Swiss Superman with a steel chair to continue their long-term rivalry.
Cesaro wants another match against Roman Reigns
Cesaro won 13 televised singles matches in a row before challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania Backlash. His run of victories included two wins over Daniel Bryan on SmackDown in early 2021.
Looking ahead to the future, the 40-year-old hopes to receive another title opportunity against Roman Reigns in front of a live crowd one day.
Cesaro won his most recent televised WWE match against Seth Rollins via disqualification on the September 3 episode of SmackDown. Rollins threatened to hit him with a Con-chair-to after the match, prompting Edge to rescue the seven-time WWE Tag Team Champion.
