Every Foreign WWE Champion Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Sheamus

Sheamus will likely not be remembered as well as his achievements would suggest, boasting an incredible resume (so far) of four World Championships, five Tag Team Titles, two US Titles, as well as being one of the very few to have won all three of the Royal Rumble, Money In The Bank and King Of The Ring.

He famously won the title from John Cena in 2009, not even five months after his debut, in an interesting Table match spot that many conspirators believe involved Cena simply slipping and falling through the table by accident. Some speculate that both men were supposed to fall through the table together for a false finish and some rematches.

The man himself revealed (or help cover up) the truth, when he confirmed the plan was always to take the belt, albeit he "didn’t know I was going to win the title until that day."

In any case, the strap was his, holding it for a couple of months before losing it in a 6-man Elimination Chamber match. His second reign, occurring later that year, lasted three months and ended in another six-man elimination match, this time without the chamber.

Somewhat randomly, in another attempt to get Roman Reigns over in 2015, five years after his last reign, he cashed in an unexpected Money In The Bank win on The Big Dog, but dropped it back to him three weeks later.
