7. Getting Beat Up By DX Before His Debut
http://youtu.be/v2eGKNtX1v8 Any time WWE is on the road they use local indy wrestlers as security guards. In November 2006 during a UK edition of Raw in Manchester, England, security was sent to the ring to stop Degeneration X's Triple H and Shawn Michaels. What's interesting about the moment is that as Hunter and Shawn were fighting off security, there was a familiar face. It was Sheamus. Hunter knocked him down with two punches to the face and then hit a Pedigree in the center of the ring. At the time, we really didn't think of much of it because he was just a young guy that wasn't known. Now we look back at things like that to find it interesting that he would be used in such a way. It was about six months after that Pedigree from Triple H when Sheamus signed his WWE developmental deal. Two years after that he was on the main roster winning the WWE Title from John Cena.
