For years during his WWE tenure, Cesaro, now known as Claudio Castagnoli, was dubbed as the "pound-for-pound strongest" man in the company. His speed, strength, and athleticism made him the perfect man for this term.
However, now that he is gone, current SmackDown star Giovanni Vinci was given that title.
Cesaro's WWE tenure ended quietly in February of 2022 when he didn't sign a contract extension. This resulted in him jumping ship to AEW, and due to Tony Khan's acquisition of ROH, he would benefit briefly by becoming the ROH Champion.
Many felt that the Swiss Superman deserved the "pound-for-pound" strongest man in the company as he had demonstrated his freak strength on numerous occasions. However, WWE has now given that title to 32-year-old SmackDown star Giovanni Vinci
On the latest episode of SmackDown, during a match between Ricochet & The New Day vs. Imperium, commentator Wade Barrett labeled Giovanni Vinci as the "pound-for-pound strongest man in WWE" - officially taking the title from Cesaro.

For those who are curious, Vinci stands at 6 feet tall and weighs 220 lbs (100 kg). As you can see from his tweet above and his social media in general, he has a great physique.
However, he has a lot to prove to take that title, at least in the eyes of many fans and admirers of the Swiss Superman.
