Well, he did come from the trainer's room to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion over the course of a year, after all... Sheamus' in-ring work is as good as its ever been. His stiff style hasn't left him which means he is one of the most legitimate performers to watch in the ring. It's his fantastic gimmick change that reserves him a spot in this countdown. FANTASTIC?!?! I hear you cry. Yes, the Celtic Warrior's look and demeanour he portrayed after returning from injury the night after WrestleMania is exactly what Sheamus should be; a no thrills or spills, brutal arse kicker. Although, the more comedic Irishman that has come to the fore since his WWE title win has a more acquired taste. It's the slight gimmick tweak that the four-time champ was in desperate need of following a prolonged period of stagnation in the face ranks of the company. Given what happened at Survivor Series, it's certainly a change that he'll be thankful for making. We're also just at the tip of the iceberg with the League of Nations stable that he fronts, which means that we're certainly in for an interesting 2016 with Mr Magic Mohawk - if he can defeat Roman Reigns at TLC, that is...
