The most recent entry featured on this list, the fact that Sheamus has become the first WWE talent to reach 200 televised wins raised some eyebrows when it was publicised over the past few weeks. Defeating Roman Reigns on Monday Night Raw, the big Irishman etched his name into the history books for good with the victory, and it looks like another major push is impending.

For a lot of people, it's actually pretty surprising that somebody hasn't reached the 200 mark long before now, especially when one considers exactly how fruitful a run someone like John Cena has had over the years. It's a real testament to the faith that WWE management have in Sheamus that he's been handed so many wins.

Even though he is a featured name on TV, the ginger 'Celtic Warrior' was always going to be an unlikely guy to reach the milestone before others, and even Randy Orton must have been considered higher up in the rankings than Sheamus. Regardless, this curious factoid will live on, but it won't be long until guys like Orton and Cena join him in the elite club, they're only a handful of wins away themselves.
