5 Reasons Sheamus Cashing In Was Best For Business
5. WWE Had Booked Themselves Into A Corner
The above image is quite obviously what the powers that be at WWE want to be a reality, whether the fans choose to accept it or not. By forcing Reigns on the fans they have nullified what made the man so appealing in the process, which has led to a portion of the crowd turning their back on this year's Royal Rumble winner. Reigns holding the belt surrounded by confetti and an aura of joy is what they wanted, but it could only have been realistic this past Sunday if the man himself had turned heel. Which led to the corner WWE had booked themselves into with the tournament. Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose was the most plausible final (an argument could be made for Kevin Owens in Ambrose's place, though), and the issue between the two is one of the more intriguing aspects on WWE TV. The tournament meant it would have to be rushed, and everyone and their grandmother was ready for one or the other to turn heel. Heel turns should never be so pre-meditated and obvious. Enter Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior cashing-in at the end of the tournament was the only way to continue the stories of the various key individuals without forcing any issues. Reigns gains some much-needed babyface sympathy and his relationship with Ambrose can continue the slow burn. It was the only choice, really.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
