Some fans were left asking who Sheamus was getting cozy with backstage, after he went from ECW upstart to Monday Night Raw's WWE Champion in the space of about six months. The answer, so far as we can tell, is nobody.

He's simply a very well-liked and hard-working performer with a killer finishing move and a mightily impressive (and mightily pale) physique. Combine that with the fact that WWE was desperate for new stars at the time, and you've got your explanation.

But, like Orton, his CV seems bloated when you look at things in the cold light of day (which he'd obviously hate). Multi-time world champion, Royal Rumble winner, King of the Ring, and most egregiously: the man who beat Daniel Bryan in mere seconds at WrestleMania 28 - it's perhaps a little too much.
