4. Sheamus Must Successfully Cash In Money In The Bank
For close to four years, Sheamus bored fans to tears by telling anecdotes of his ancestors and partaking in god-awful "1-800-FELLA" commercials. While he was over with the audience as a babyface, he felt out of his element in the role and it was clear that a heel turn was in his immediate future. Thankfully, WWE made the wise decision of bringing him back to TV as a heel shortly following WrestleMania 31 and he's been on a massive roll ever since. Despite doing the best of his career to date, he has yet to win over the WWE faithful, which is why his Money In The Bank victory in June wasn't well-received among fans. Nevertheless, he earned the right to contend for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at any time and place of his choosing, and if history has taught us anything, it's that the odds are certainly in his favor. Even though there's a very likely chance he'll capture the strap when he cashes in, fans are convinced he wouldn't be successful because it won't make storyline sense. WWE officials are high on Sheamus as a main event player, so it isn't too far-fetched to say that he'll be wearing world title gold by year's end, and there are very few reasons why shouldn't be. Sheamus' work thus far this year has earned him a world title run and him on top will only add to the lack of heels in the top-tier of the card.
