So I wanted to go back to the roots and I came up with the tear-away suit because I think it\u2019s a lot of fun. My thing is, I\u2019m the guy that you see in the street and now I\u2019m ready to wrestle. I just kind of played with it and that\u2019s what happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Since returning from injury, Cesaro said his immediate goal is winning the Intercontinental Title for the first time. His long-term goal is becoming &#8220;the man to beat in WWE.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Cesaro also reflected on his biggest accomplishments thus far in WWE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;My biggest accomplishment from a title or winning perspective, is winning the first battle royal for the Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy at WrestleMania 30. I think that was a huge point in my career. Also winning the U.S. title early in my career and then winning a tag team championship with Tyson Kidd meant a whole lot to me,&#8221; Cesaro said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Then another accomplishment that I\u2019m really proud of that has evolved, and we talked about it earlier, is the Cesaro Section.
