Former WWE Superstar Claudio Castagnoli/Cesaro recently revealed why he decided to leave the company for AEW.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast at Starrcast V, Castagnoli revealed that there were a couple of reasons that he left WWE for the competition.
“There was a couple [of reasons I left]. One of the things was, there are so many people that I want to be in the ring with at AEW and Ring of Honor” Castagnoli began.

“I have matches for the next years that I want to do. While there are still guys in WWE that I haven’t wrestled that I want to wrestle, that number is less than at AEW. At my core, I always want to improve and get better and have new challenges.
“When I first went from Ring of Honor to WWE, I didn’t do so to be on TV or anything. For me, it was the logical next step. I had done a lot in Ring of Honor, what’s the next step and next challenge, the best guys.
“Same thing here, what’s the next step, the next challenge? AEW has been awesome. I had pretty much the best first month I could have dreamt of” Claudio concluded.
