WWE rejected plans to make Cesaro a ‘James Bond-esque’ character, former WWE personality Dutch Mantell has claimed.
Cesaro left WWE in February and joined AEW under the name Claudio Castagnoli at the recent Forbidden Door event.
Speaking on the Smack Talk podcast, Mantell spoke about the character pitched for the Swiss wrestler:
“Before I left, I said, ‘Listen, why don’t you guys think about this? Why don’t you guys try to do this James Bond 007 look for Cesaro.’ Just see how that’d come out because he looks like a classic European, and he dresses nice, he looks nice.
