7 Ways WWE Can Salvage Sheamus

4. Finish What They Started In 2015

Ever since he won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2015 for the sake of a 'shock' winner, Sheamus has been pretty much rudderless.

His World Championship run at the end of the year was a joke at best, a losing champion portrayed as such who couldn't defend the title even with the help of his League of Nations buddies, a stable that should have been great but completely floundered.

Sheamus needs a story to get his teeth into, a story to establish him as a character as opposed to hoping that the WWE Universe will react to him on name value alone. When he returned from injury following WrestleMania 31, Sheamus came back with a new look and a new attitude, intent on ridding WWE of the small guys he deemed not worthy of the gladiator's stage.

Why not return to this story now? The company is full of seemingly smaller men that aren't what one assumes a WWE superstar is, so why not have Sheamus go after them specifically? Sami Zayn, Neville, Enzo Amore, Kalisto and others fit the bill.

Let Sheamus be the big bully, and give the audience a reason to be invested in him other than 'he's been here a while'.

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.
