When Sheamus scored victory in 2012's comedy-heavy Royal Rumble, it appeared to solidify his place at the top of the card as a babyface after a failed (WWE Championship-winning!) false start on the other side of the divide two years earlier.
Unfortunately, he was a victim of WWE's stoic state. The win was warmly received without blowing minds, and a push later in the year didn't stick. He went back to the midcard, where he remains doing mostly the same things a decade later.
