Sheamus Comments On Cesaro's WWE Exit

After 11 years with WWE, Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) quietly departed WWE in late February following the expiry of his contract. Cesaro reportedly didn't want to leave the promotion but he was unable to come to terms on a new deal after WWE "made an offer he didn't like."

Cesaro's former tag team partner in The Bar - Sheamus - discussed The Swiss Cyborg's departure with Dallas Morning News and the former Raw Tag Team Champion noted Cesaro will be a "massive success" wherever he ends up next.

"Honestly, when we started, Cesaro was like an acquaintance. When we started The Bar, we became brothers. I just saw him last week when I was staying in Florida. We stay in touch all the time. Legacy wise, I think he's one of the greatest I've ever stepped in the ring with. I never had to worry about anything. He made me a better wrestler, better performer just by tagging with him," Sheamus began.

"To me, he'll always be one of the greatest. I think no matter what he does or where he goes, he'll be a massive success. He's a huge asset to anybody who picks him up. I always believed the guy would be WWE champion - that's never off the cards because people have left and come back, but I think that whoever snaps up Cesaro is going to have a major, major talent on their hands. And I think he's got a lot left in him, as well."
