10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Jan 24)

9. Sheamus Returning As A Heel

From @Atwood09: Do you see Sheamus returning as a heel and do you ever see another World Title in his future? He was a great heel.
Yes I think he'll be a heel in the very near future. The World Title is a possibility, but far from a lock for him. When Sheamus turned heel several years ago it was done out of necessity really. They needed faces on the Smackdown brand at that time, so they turned him because fans had gotten used to it. He was rumored to turn heel last year around this time although they held off on doing it. Now it seems like the right time. The reason it makes sense is because there are a lot of top babyfaces right now with Cena, Bryan, Ambrose, Ziggler, Ryback and Orton coming back. There are some potential feuds with Sheamus against any of those guys. Being one of the top heels is better than being at best the 6th biggest babyface. He can certainly be WWE Champ again just based on his past as a top guy and he has credibility. If they put him with The Authority he could be slotted in right behind Rollins, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he got to the top again. If not that's okay too. Sheamus is a pretty good face, but he seems more natural as a badass heel. Look for it to happen soon.
