5. Sheamus & 'King' Barrett Say They Can Still Grab Gold
Both 'King' Barrett and Sheamus have been eliminated from the WWE World Heavyweight Title tournament. Sheamus was offed by Cesaro on Raw, and Barrett even received a slap from Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney during the excitement. On Smackdown, things went from bad to worse for the 'King', as he was defeated by Neville and has thus lost his chance at glory. It shouldn't be forgotten that Sheamus is still in possession of the 'Money In The Bank' briefcase, but that's something he needs to bring back to the forefront of fan attention. The pair are a good fit together, and Barrett was suffering badly on his own anyway. He should be snooty and aloof about being eliminated by Neville, saying that his monarchy still has a chance at gold. Sheamus could then grab the mic and say there's nothing to stop him simply sitting back and watching the winner of the tournament tire himself out. Then, at Survivor Series, he just might cash in his Money In The Bank privileges and become the new WWE Champion. This is a obvious plot point, but it would keep both Sheamus and Barrett on television, and relevant to what is going on around them.
