16 Most Illustrious Fake Families In Wrestling History
13. Sheamus And Beaker
Next time that WWE tries to take itself super seriously, remind yourself that Raw exists in the same universe as the Muppets. For those keeping score, in WCW continuity, RoboCop and Chucky are real, and in WWE it's the Muppets and Pee-Wee Herman. Anyway.
Not only does the 'Celtic Warrior' Sheamus, current and two-time Raw Tag Team Champion, two-time United States Champion, one-time World Heavyweight Champion, and three-time WWE Champion share a continuity with a clan of commedia dell'arte puppets, but he's explicitly related to them.
Yes, on 31 October, 2011, The Muppets appeared on an episode of Monday Night Raw, appearing in backstage skits. In one of them, Sheamus came to the aid of anxious lab assistant Beaker, who was being bullied by Christian. He then apologized -- to a felt puppet -- that he had been forced to miss that year's family reunion.
