Cesaro was asked if he felt disappointed that he wasn’t part of the 2022 Men’s WWE Royal Rumble Match while doing an interview with SI.com:
“Yes, I was. A lot of people would have liked to see me in the Rumble, and a lot of people would have liked to see me win. That would have put me on the next path of my journey. I saw Big E say in an interview he’d like to see me win, and that was very nice. I appreciate the support of my colleagues, but unfortunately, that did not happen.”
Cesaro also commented on future opportunities:
“It’s all about getting the momentum and riding that momentum to new heights. That’s what I’m searching for right now. It’s an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. That’s the only thing that I can control. I don’t get a lot of mic time or interview time, but every time I step through the curtain and get in that ring, you will get that super high standard I set for myself. I will accept nothing less in the ring.”
