10 WWE & AEW Wrestlers Who Have Benefitted From The Empty Arena Era
7. Sheamus
One of WWE’s most under appreciated talents, Sheamus can take something iffy and turn it into something at least half decent through sheer force of commitment. While he’s often been styled like a giant cartoon character, the Celtic Warrior's real worth comes from his ability and willingness to hit and be hit very hard indeed.
This has made him a perfect fit for the Empty Arena Era, where his every clubbing blow, stiff chop, and kendo stick onslaught has resonated all the more across the deserted arenas. The Irishman has reunited with kindred spirit Drew McIntyre and put on a series of brutal bouts. Whether on pay per view or just Monday night telly, Sheamus is more than happy to take an absolute pasting - and deliver the same in kind.
Like WALTER over in NXT UK, the fact that the four-time World Champion continues his reign of brutality in front of no fans only serves to make the towering brute feel more legit. Well over a decade into his WWE career, he’s on a real hot streak. This is a man who loves to fight, and he’ll continue to do so whether you’re watching him or not.
