10 Times WWE Missed Out On Making Sheamus A Superstar
3. A Paul Heyman Guy?
Upon his return from his torn labrum in 2014, Sheamus entered the Royal Rumble, and as well was a participant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Imagine if throughout the Battle Royal, it appeared as though Paul Heyman was siding with Cesaro. Then, the next night on Raw when Cesaro was presented with the trophy, Sheamus snuck in from under the ring and Brogue Kicked not just Cesaro, but the trophy too, and was announced as the new "Paul Heyman Guy." Cesaro's entire run since winning the Battle Royal has been all about him being anointed as the fans' favorite babyface. Could Sheamus as a "Heyman Guy" been the one to give Cesaro the type of run that would've not just immediately elevated Cesaro, but Sheamus, too? Paul Heyman's promo skills are legendary. Applying that as a finishing touch to Sheamus could've been golden.
