I do like both acts a lot and it a great combination in theory, but I'm finding the combination has had rather awkward start. Cesaro had a lot of face momentum coming out of WM30, as where Heyman had a lot of heel momentum. Combining them now has been a bit off, because Heyman being the mouth piece is over shadowing Cesaro with all the Brock Lesner defeating the streak heat as Cesaro just stands there with nothing to do, especially when it was used to fill in the dead air for the lack of Cesaro theme music. It's just taken a lot of steam out of Cesaro and his momentum. The team up has also kept Cesaro a heel and this appears to be confusing to the crowds as they cheer him like he's a face. I can't blame them, Cesaro just has this face feel at the moment. I believe the swing is such a face move to do as he acknowledges the crowd to count before he does it.

To me, it just feels like the creative are trying to shoe horn in Brock Lesner promos into Cesaro's push. They should keep both things separate, because combining them is only watering down each others impact.

how do you guys feel about these guys teaming up?

What's been awkward to me is, when Heyman is out there representing Cesaro he needs to represent Cesaro not Lesnar. It almost seems to me like he's more concerned with getting himself and Lesnar over than Cesaro. It needs to be all about Cesaro when it's his time with him.

If they fix it up and alter a couple of things (like that god awful theme music and stupid jacket) then yes, it could. In theory it sounded good and I was pumped for it, but the execution has been...well awkward and forced would probably be the best way to describe it. Feels like the WWE did it just to do it and there's no chemistry there. Hoping it gets better, tbh.

It's a disaster. The only thing I can think is they're trying to set up a Brock/Cesaro feud.

I've been on record as not being a fan of the RA gimmick, but that seemed better for Cesaro than where he is now.

The weird thing he does with his fists is annoying to me. LOL.

Actually Heyman/Cesaro is coming off so douchey, I'm gonna end up rooting for Swagger to beat him.
Eeeeehhh, yeah buddy.

It isn't meant to work as Cesaro will break off from Heyman and feud with Brock soon enough.
And the WWE thinks that's a good idea why? No offense, but Cesaro is not worthy of going over the guy who beat the Undertaker's Streak. Especially not in the same goddamn year it was broken.

Agreed. Swagger brought out a lot of good in Cesaro in the ring and both had a lot of charisma when they were able to bounce off of each other and Zeb fit in nicely as their mouthpiece and seemed to just click with the image that Cesaro has.

Heyman trying to get cheap heat by bringing up the streak and promoting Brock Lesnar who's not even there makes me cringe. It's getting ridiculously repetitive that if I'm Cesaro, I already punched that guy in the face lol.

New theme is not bad to me though. But it's not very good either. Other than that, I hope they get better chemistry because it's such a waste.

I agree with this... Cesaro is a long way off from facing Brock. Brock should be facing the Cenas and Bryans or even the HHHs of the company now

I think it really could work and create some interesting dynamics between them (and Brock).

But to have any hope that WWE will actually make it happen as compelling story and not just fuck it up the second it begins? No.

Right now it's not working... but it seems they are more worried about getting the streak being broken over when it's quite clear most people have just thrown the streak in the scrap bin of history since Lesnar isn't gonna show for a while. And if a Lesnar/Cesaro feud is in the works.. this is doing nothing for it really. You're gonna have the mouthpiece do all the work while Lesnar hardly ever shows... yeah, um, that's the same thing that made the Taker/Lesnar build up suck and the end result be something people no longer give a shit about.

They either need to stop harping on the streak and focus on Heyman getting Cesaro over or just let Cesaro do his thing and feud with people that are actually there week in and week out. Breaking up the RA was just stupid to begin with though.. they should have had a title run.

My biggest problem with this is that Cesaro has gone back to not having a gimmick... or at least a real one. "King of Swing" is just awkward, I get that the move gets pops, but you gotta have more to it then just that. They would've been much better off keeping him in the real americans and turning the team face I think. But beyond that, it seems like they have a big face turn planned for Cesaro when clearly a face turn the night after Mania would've been perfect.

it's not going to work if every time cesaro and heyman come out heyman cuts a promo about brock lesnar. if you were cesaro wouldn't you think paul heyman really cares about only brock lesnar

if they're doing it to plant some seeds for a potential cesaro-lesnar feud then i think they should do it differently
