Cesaro is scheduled to make in-ring return next month as part of WWE’s post WrestleMania live tour in Europe.
Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reports that he will replace Neville, who recently suffered a fractured ankle on the tour.
Cesaro tore the rotator cuff in his left shoulder back in September. Despite working through the injury for two months, the pain became unbearable and surgery was obviously needed.
The King Of Swing wrestled his last match for WWE on November 17th at the SmackDown tapings against The Miz. The night before that, Cesaro lost a match on RAW to Roman Reigns in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament.
Originally diagnosed with a four to six month recovery timetable, Cesaro looks to come back right in the middle.
WWE’s UK tour runs from April 13th until April 23rd and includes shows in the U.K., Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France and Italy. As usual, WWE will be running two separate crews for some of the tour, so Cesaro will not appear at every show.
Cesaro’s imminent return will be great news for WWE who have been suffering in the injury department lately, particularly with Neville’s lay-off last week and Luke Harper picking up an injury this week.
