Seth did a good job putting his friend over at WM. I definitely don't blame him for how they followed up on it.

Leave the Cesaro, take the Castagnoli.

WWE criminally underused him, for sure. That said, I don't know that AEW's the best place for him, either. They are literally filled to the brim with talent and I just don't think he'd do any better than he did in WWE, he'd probably wind up in a tag team on Dark/Elevation a lot. I get that he's great, but AEW's got a LOT of great right now.
If I were him, I might consider something like IMPACT or NJPW. I would assume a Kings of Wrestling reunion of some sort is incoming, too.

I'm pretty sure I still have that sign in my closet where I wrote "shut up" in the five languages Cesaro speaks that he kept glaring at at a live event back in 2013ish. Hahah.

The WWE has traded Cesaro, Swerve, Buddy Matthews, Keith Lee and a wrestler to be named later for Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul and Johnny Knoxville.

Yeah, the Seth feud re-elevated him... but the problem is that after that they had him cross paths with the magical misery tour... and did everything in their power to make sure everyone was aware that Roman is the coolest most badass badass of all times and had Cesaro get his ass beat for the entire match and post match segment.

Claudio is a dude who's physically as good as Brock Lesnar, yet they didn't bother do ever do anything substantial with him. Though to be fair, I guess they only had 11 years to get on it.

They had Seth pretty much win the feud with Cesaro in the end, too, even though that WM match SHOULD'VE ENDED IT!

So far we just don't physically see it yet although yeah I agree with you. They signed Keith Lee, Swerve, Buddy Matthews in quick succession. If there's an issue I wanna know where Tony's hardstop is.

Like Mox left despite being treated pretty well by the WWE in terms of money and spotlight.

Mox is kind of a rare bird, very few people are gonna utter the phrase..it doesn't matter how much money you put in front of me, I don't wanna be here.

Like Mox left despite being treated pretty well by the WWE in terms of money and spotlight. They've also shown us that they don't care about the money. Kofi himself took a paycut just so Woods and E got the same pay as him with the same contract details, all because they care about the unit. That just shows they're willing to make sacrifices if needed. They don't care about the money like that.
