WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
3. Sheamus Is The ‘Iron Man’
Sweaty Sheamus is sweaty.
There's a believability to the Irishman's endurance. He's visibly hardy, and works such a snug, rugged style that fans would accept him as the 2021 Rumble's 'Iron Man'. Oh yes, big Sheamus should go at least an hour in the bout and get one heck of a payday for his efforts.
He already set the table for it on Raw by working tirelessly against both John Morrison and The Miz; in total, between singles and handicap matches, Sheamus (and JoMo) went over 20 minutes inside the ring. By the end, everyone was a sweaty mess, and they'd more than earned their corn for the night.
The announcers can hark back to that epicness at the Rumble when Sheamus drops a 60-minute performance on everyone's asses that keeps him ticking away in the background as a possible WWE Title foe. WWE didn't pull the trigger on that particular feud with Drew McIntyre, but they could post-'Mania.
