10 Problems With Sheamus As WWE World Heavyweight Champion

7. Everyone Sees Him As A Transitional Champion

Part of the problem with Sheamus as the WWE Champion is that most WWE fans don€™t buy him as the top heel in the promotion and they know that in the next month or two he will be dropping the championship to another WWE star, and he only won the belt in the first place to be the interim WWE Champion.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE decided instead of giving Roman Reigns the WWE Championship and letting him run with the belt, to have his moment taken from him and put the belt on Sheamus to give Roman another mountain to climb.

Wrestling fans are privy to so much insider content, whether it€™s articles here on WhatCulture or the Observer or listening to The Steve Austin Podcast, than they have in the past so the audience is astutely awarev of the fact that Sheamus is a placeholder here rather than a long-term titleholder.

He's not holding that title for long. Everyone can see that.
