10 Problems With Sheamus As WWE World Heavyweight Champion
6. You Know He Wont Main Event WrestleMania
When I was live tweeting during the post-Survivor Series RAW, I asked the question 'when does everyone think Sheamus will hold the WWE World title until?' to the WhatCulture audience. Out of 67 responses to the question, only two people suggested WrestleMania as a possibility.
The majority of WWE fans know Sheamus has no chance of main eventing at the AT&T Stadium and over 50 of our responders think The Celtic Warrior will drop the title by the Royal Rumble in Orlando in January. When a wrestler wins the World Title in November and you know he wont keep it till WrestleMania, its a major problem and asks whether or not that champion is credible.
Throughout the majority of his career, Sheamus has been an upper mid card or main event level act in the winter months but as soon as WrestleMania season comes around, hes demoted down to a battle royal or similarly meaningless match (or winning the Title in an insulting 17 seconds, but let's not go there).
