6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Jan 3)
4. Sheamus Staying Heel
Many fans probably said a collective, "Oh, oh no" when Sheamus chased The Revival from the ring upon his return. Some maybe even thought WWE were about to book the Irishman as some sort of big brother figure to Shorty G. That's not what they had in mind.
Seconds later, Sheamey cracked Shorty with a Brogue Kick and stood over him staring coldly at the fans.
The relief was indescribable. It's for the best that Sheamus stays heel, especially now he's rocking the classic look again. He didn't exactly work out as a smiling, charming babyface years ago, and there's no need to try that gimmick again in 2020.
Shorty G now has a big, intimidating physical force to stand up against and Sheamus can look forward to some solid matches against one of the best in-ring workers on the roster. This rivalry, whilst short (no jokes) could be fun.
