7 Things That Sheamus MUST Change To Be WWE Champion Again

2. Wade Barrett Versus Sheamus

WWE seems to have gotten cold feet on doing the all-European stable in WWE. However, that still doesn't mean that Sheamus and Wade Barrett (with the proper storytelling) still can't make money together with each other. Wade Barrett is a massive babyface waiting to happen. He's got a catchphrase and the fans already have warmed to him considerably. Taking things to the next level by having Sheamus return and knock him out with a Brogue kick after Wrestlemania is an idea worth pursuing. Sheamus as the Authority's "European face of the company" (because Europe's a key demographic) would be tremendous fun. The Authority say, banning the Bull Hammer would be cool too, and would give Barrett the ability to grow a bit in his character as well. Wade Barrett having some good-natured backstage vignettes with Dean Ambrose would be entertaining (Ambrose coming to Barrett's aid/friendship would aid the bearer of "Bad News" in easing into his babyface role), as would the Sheamus/Ambrose matches that could come out of this, too. Sheamus being cast as a heel versus Wade Barrett is an idea that can actually work its way up the card in WWE into an excellent main event feud.
