Sheamus' current heel run is reminding everyone why he came into the company as a bad guy in the first place. For all the years spent smiling and waving under a John Cena-lite gimmick, the big Dubliner remains one of the most effective heels in the WWE thanks to a combination of his intimidating look and brash personality. Itami, on the other hand, has all the traits of a natural WWE babyface; he's small, flashy in the ring, and portrays a diligent newcomer to the scene. A simple rookie vs big-dog feud would be effective, but for extra depth the pair could also play off Itami's extensive international wrestling experience, the Japanese legend teaching Sheamus a thing or two in the process.
