10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Aug 17)

5. Sheamus Possibly Losing A Money In The Back Cash In

From @WrestleMike: Do you think Sheamus going to be the next person to cash in his MITB and lose?
That's different from the usual "when will Money in the Bank be cashed in" question and is an interesting one too. I think it's a possibility. There are really two sides of it. On the one hand, if Sheamus fails to cash in then that makes him look like a loser and could hurt his career big time like it did with Damien Sandow when he failed two years ago. When John Cena failed in 2012 it didn't matter because it's Cena. In this case, it would significantly hurt because Sheamus has been out of the main event scene for a couple of years. Getting that gold again would help him a lot. On the other hand, Sheamus has won WWE's two World Titles a combined three times, but hasn't won since they made it one title. If he's WWE Champion then WWE has a solid heel performer that would be at the top of the roster with some potential matchups against the likes of Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, John Cena and Randy Orton - okay so we've seen that match enough. While I think Sheamus losing the cash-in is possible, it's more likely that he will be successful and end up the WWE Champion. He's well liked by management, works hard and it's been long enough that seeing him as the champ would be okay. The question of when is harder to answer because my hope is that Rollins holds it until WrestleMania, but WWE may not have that same vision.
