11 Biggest Changes Since WWE Survivor Series 2015
6. Sheamus Means Nothing
When Raw was in Scotland, all of the wrestlers in the upcoming tag team match at Survivor Series just seemed to take turns making fun of Sheamus. It wasn’t shocking or anything, as that’s what he’s been reduced to these days. But one year ago at Survivor Series, he became World Heavyweight Champion.
To be honest, he was perhaps the most lackluster Money in the Bank holder ever when he won the briefcase. WWE didn’t go through the effort of building him back up again after his victory, and seemed to have him cash in at the show, because they had no other idea of when to do it. He quickly beat Roman Reigns after his battle with Dean Ambrose, and went on to have a pretty mediocre title run. Still, he was a featured performer on Raw, and had a bit of credibility to his name.
Now Sheamus is a punchline. Nobody takes him seriously, and there would be no interest in seeing him battle for a top title at the moment. At 38 years old, this may be as good as it gets for him. He’ll likely turn back into a goofball babyface one of these days, but his time as a serious threat may be over. Bit of a shame, yes?
