7 Things That Sheamus MUST Change To Be WWE Champion Again
3. Send Sheamus To NXT
Here's an idea. Send Sheamus to NXT to challenge their new breed of big, tough athletes. Rhyno has been re-signed by WWE and is now a regular on the NXT roster. However, Sheamus in that role would actually be a much better fit. Send Sheamus down to NXT and have him Brogue Kick Baron Corbin, Bull Dempsey and Colin Cassady. He then cuts a promo saying that "someone" has purchased his contact and brought him down to NXT in order to test those who need to be tested. Let's say that someone is a new manager, maybe a once-again used Sylvester Lefort, or a yet seen female performer. Sheamus on WWE's main roster may in many ways be an ill-fit at present as he really has no feuds to insert himself into that will do any more than anything else he's done in the company of late. However, if he can get something hot going with a hungry young talent in Florida, bringing Sheamus back to TV as a refreshed performer that can give the rub to a developing talent (on Sheamus' road to WWE championship run level relevance) is a savvy idea.
