Cesaro has refused to confirm whether he has signed a new contract that would allow him to continue in the wrestling world. This would seem strange given the constant speculation surrounding his future, but he has, nevertheless, chosen to keep his cards close to his chest.
Cesaro Remains Coy On Whether He Has Signed A New Contract
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, he refused to come clean. He said: “I’m not going to confirm or deny anything. To me, there needs to be a certain amount of mystery in wrestling. A lot of that magic gets lost, so I’ll let people talk. What is important to me is my work in the ring.”
Cesaro has, however, been open about the time that he considered walking away from the sport. And in light of his previous comments, this may still be playing on his mind. In an appearance on the After the Bell podcast, he said: “I would be lying if I would say no [on whether he would quit]. I was never like, ‘Oh my god, I’m over it!’ But it was a question, especially I feel within the last year.”
It seems that this (the decision to stay or leave) is a constant battle on his mind. And why would it not be? After all, the global pandemic has changed wrestling and other sports alike completely. With less revenue coming in due to the absence of ticket sales, the pressure is continually mounting on the wrestlers to finesse their craft.
Added to that, with fans further away from the sport, the thrill of competing at the highest level may not be the same. That is why Cesaro remains uncertain. He added: “Every time I step in the ring, I could have a really bad day, and then I walk out and my brain, and on the inside, I light up. There’s never a moment I’m in the ring, and I’m like I don’t like this.”
With speculation increasing by the day, it does not look like it will slow down anytime soon. But if Cesaro were to stay in the sport, there would be plenty of opportunities available, even a dream matchup at Wrestlemania that he has coveted. We will have to wait and see for further developments.
